As I noted earlier, there was another contribution that adds this same
functionality. It took a while to go through all the details, but my
conclusion is that the contributions were quite similar, but the other
set felt more complete especially on the AP side functionality needed
for product purposes.

I ended up applying the other patchset for security profile support. I
did apply a couple of patches from the set you sent since they were on
independent items that were not really directly related to security
profiles. The patches 15 and 16 might be in that category as well, but
they had some dependencies that ended up with somewhat inconvenient
merge conflicts without those changes, so I did not apply them now. If
you think they are applicable, a rebased version would be appreciated.

I tried to go through the details on the patches that are specific to
security profiles and compare them to the functionality that is now in
hostap.git. I did not identify any significant missing capabilities, but
if you think I've missed something, any new patch on top of the current
hostap.git snapshot to extend or fix security profile functionality
would be welcome.
