Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**

Kindly asking to add support for 802.11k/v for all platforms, not only ```esp32``` with ```esp-idf```.

At moment ```esp8266/esp32``` devices in my Keenetic mesh network frequently chooses not the best AP (with stronger signal), but more distant. Then suffer from weak signal, but still not reconnecting.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**

**Additional context**

Research direction

The request names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by identifying how 802.11k/v is currently supported for esp32 with esp-idf and what platform-specific capabilities exist for esp8266 and other platforms; done would mean defining and implementing support beyond the current esp32-only scope.
