There is no requirement of generating a 4-digit PIN; the requirement is
to be able to enter either 4- or 8-digit PINs. That is supported by
wpa_supplicant. If you want to use a 4-digit PIN on a limited UI device,
you can generate a random number externally and ask wpa_supplicant to
use that one. Since there are no checksum digit in 4-digit PIN, no
special steps are needed to do this.
