The p2p-device is designed to be used for p2p discovery and p2p action 
frame exchange. It make it easier for driver and/or firmware to 
determine if user-space request is p2p related or not. However, in 
discussions with Jouni I got the impression that ath (or qca) firmware 
and/or drivers did not need this design. Not sure if that claim is 
unaffected by the "use_chanctx=1" parameter.

Arend
