It would be nice to get this (and same for 'periodic') documented in
wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf with a reasonable example value
included there. The patch 1/7 could have added the documented from
config.h into wpa_supplicant.conf, too, and then these 6/7 and 7/7 could
extend that description.

Do you think we will get many more (or much larger) autoscan modules in
the future? If no, do we really need to make this configurable at build
time? I guess the autoscan.c itself could have enough size to justify
the extra complexity. Anyway, the added build configuration parameters
should be added to wpa_supplicant/defconfig.
