This would change the author information, so I ended up applying the
original email with cleanup. This subclause in the standard is quite
unclear, but I agree that this change in the implementation seems to
match the intent of this functionality. This required some additional
changes to hwsim test cases to avoid breaking them since a couple of
them assumed the reporting AP would include its own neighbor entry in
all cases.
