One studies here, via the La Salle invariance principle for nonlinear semigroups in Banach spaces, the properties of the $ω$-limit set $ω(u_0)$ corresponding to the orbit $γ(u_0)=\{u(t,u_0);\ t\ge0\}$, where $u=u(t,u_0)$ is the solution to the nonlinear Fokker-Planck equation $$\begin{array}{l} u_t-Δβ(u)+{\rm div}(Db(u)u)=0\ \mbox{ in }(0,\infty)\times\mathbb{R}^d,\\ u(0,x)=u_0(x),\ \ x\in\mathbb{R}^d,\quad u_0\in L^1(\mathbb{R}^d),\ d\ge3.\end{array}$$ Here, $β\in C^1(\mathbb{R})$ and $β'(r)>0$, $\forall r\ne0$. Moreover, $β$ is a sublinear function, possibly degenerate in the origin, $b\in C^1(\mathbb{R})$, $b$ bounded, $b\ge b_0\in(0,\infty),$ $D$ is bounded such that $D=-\nablaΦ$, where $Φ\in C(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is such that $Φ\ge1,$ $Φ(x)\to\infty$ as $|x|\to\infty$ and satisfies a condition of the form $ΔΦ-α|\nablaΦ|^2\le0$, a.e. on $\mathbb{R}^d$. The main conclusion is that the equation has an equilibrium state and the set $ω(u_0)$ is a non-empty, compact subset of $L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$ while, for each $t\ge0$, the operator $u_0\to u(t,u_0)$ is an isometry on $ω(u_0)$. In the nondegenerate case $0<γ_0\leβ'\leγ_1$ studied in [Barbu, Röckner: arXiv:1808.10706], it follows that $\lim\limits_{t\to\infty}S(t)u_0=u_\infty$ in $L^1(\mathbb{R}^d)$, where $u_\infty$ is the unique bounded stationary solution to the equation.
