FS#4093 - Error with 802.11r enabled: Daemon.err hostapd: nl80211: kernel reports: key addition failed

NilsRo:

Supply the following if possible:

• TP-Link C6 and Netgear r7800 (but read from it in every combination)
• have this since using OpenWRT 19.07
• Enable 802.11r with Generate PMK locally but it happens also if manually configured

I get the same error (on openwrt-21.02.2-ramips-mt7621-dlink_dir-860l-b1).
