What a mess....
Only good that the 953 patents found with the (DSL AND Authentication)
query are not all related to DHCP-EAP and PANA ...

There does not appear to be a strong justification to hack DHCP the
way you are proposing. Many people spoke against that already.
FWIW, Cisco has claimed IPR on the DHCP solution:

dsl-00.txt
I wonder if other solutions are similarly affected.
Just something to chew on when looking at potentially
applicable solutions...
Well, since you brought it up...
Binding of DHCP and PANA...

Triggering DHCP actions from IEEE 802.1x state changes...

If you spend ten minutes on the USPTO website, you will quickly see that
all of this technology has claims on it, far more than on the IETF IPR
website.

"Results of Search in US Patent Collection db for:
(DSL AND Authentication): 953 patents."
"Results of Search in US Patent Collection db for:
((EAP AND Network) AND Access): 146 patents."
At least Cisco disclosed its IPR to the IETF.
