It would be unfortunate if a driver change required wpa_s changes. It
doesn't seem so bad to add p2p-device support to the driver, after all,
there isn't much it needs to do for that.

This seems like a strange quirk though - you can normally not do any p2p
operation when already operating as soft-AP (without P2P-device), no?
