wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes

Bug Description

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS
wpasupplicant 2.1-0ubuntu1

wpa_supplicant is writing to syslog every couple of minutes. Example output:
<snip>

The message seems harmless as far as the network is concerned, meaning there is 
no problem with the wifi connection. But it's spamming the syslog, making it 
very difficult to find any other thing there, and it's generating constant 
writes to disk, and an unnecessarily large syslog file.

I made no 'claims', I simply recommended that you file a separate bug report 
for connectivity issues:
 "For connectivity issues I recommend following 
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure> and filing 
a separate bug report.  My suggestion is to file another bug report regarding 
loss of connectivity using:
<https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LinuxWireless?action=show&redirect=KernelTeam%2FLinuxWireless>
<https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WirelessTroubleshootingProcedure>
to provide details for the developer(s). if you firmly believe that 
"wpa_supplicant writes to syslog every 2 minutes" is the cause of your loss of 
connectivity, then I'd also suggest that you add detailed information that will 
assist the developer(s) in resolving the issue. Nuff said.
