Hi Eric.
I normally don't use wpa_supplicant with dbus, just with wpa_cli in
daemon/agent mode so i haven't seen this problem.
It seems to be a known issue as you posted so just send a patch
disabling it.
Upstream git doesn't seem to have any fixes related to this (no epoll
changes at all), though there are a couple of dbus changes that might be
related. But since it's just a small performance feature i don't think
it's worth to deal with this in BR.
Regards.
