I do not agree with this direction on a specific EAP method being needed
for this, so I have no more comments on that part of the thread.

The Hotspot 2.0 design supports both the per-BSS (AP) and per-ESS
(network) cases.

hs20_rx_deauth_imminent_notice() in wpa_supplicant/hs20_supplicant.c
implements this. Please note that src/eap_peer/* is not allowed to call
directly to any wpa_supplicant/* functions. Anyway, as noted above, what
you describe here is not something that I'd really consider accepting in
upstream.
