This file is about wpa_supplicant, so a note about hostapd in this
context feels a bit strange.

Why would Interworking need to be mentioned just before this place where
it is explicitly?

What is the purpose of mentioning WPA2-Enterprise here? Interworking (as
defined in IEEE Std 802.11-2016) does not "require" EAP authentication,
so that statement on its own is misleading. Anyway, I don't see how any
of this would help in wpa_supplicant/README-HS20.
