In wpa_supplicant/sme.c, sme_auth_handle_rrm() builds the RRM IE when
supported by the STA driver and advertised in the BSS.  It enables
beacon report and conditional link/lci measurement capabilities:

/* Set supported capabilites flags */
if (wpa_s->drv_rrm_flags & WPA_DRIVER_FLAGS_TX_POWER_INSERTION)
*pos |= WLAN_RRM_CAPS_LINK_MEASUREMENT;

*pos |= WLAN_RRM_CAPS_BEACON_REPORT_PASSIVE |
WLAN_RRM_CAPS_BEACON_REPORT_ACTIVE |
WLAN_RRM_CAPS_BEACON_REPORT_TABLE;

if (wpa_s->lci)
pos[1] |= WLAN_RRM_CAPS_LCI_MEASUREMENT;

Is there a reason why WLAN_RRM_CAPS_NEIGHBOR_REPORT isn't included as
well?  The STA is asking the AP for the report, so it shouldn't
require additional driver support.
