Here is my opinion: 
the only place this could be useful is if MN has a static HoA/prefix. This info would be part of the policy store and downloaded to MAG after initial access authentication. Then MAG would send HNP to LMA in PBU.

However, doesn't it sound like IPv4? If not, I am OK for it.

Ok. There is some disconnect here. The MAG can potentially request
for a specific prefix from the LMA. We are not talking about the
MAG going to a DHCP server for a prefix. LMA on receiving the
PBU request with this prefix, MAY accept that binding and create a
tunnel route for that HNP. Or, as well may reject it. So, we
are not talking about DHCP at all.
