I'm not sure how you are interpreting the transition mode to work, but
owe_only=1 means that the STA will connect only with OWE AKM, i.e., does
not connect to unencrypted BSSs. However, this function is needed to
find those BSSs that use OWE AKM. In particular, this is needed when the
AP is using transition mode since the BSS with OWE AKM uses a hidden
SSID in such a case. The proposed change here seems to break this.
