Seems p2p_address is always present.
Also mode = station is set in case of "standard" connection.

This is what I get without any connection:

list_n
network id / ssid / bssid / flags

status
wpa_state=INACTIVE
p2p_device_address=00:80:e1:78:8e:94
address=00:80:e1:78:8e:94

In case I am connected as station (not p2p):

enable_n 0
OK

So, I added small patch for that -  new field in struct ssid() and set
this field in wpas_p2p_completed() when we became P2P_STATION and
P2P_GO. Seems work fine for my case as temporary solution.
Maybe we should extend:
enum wpas_mode { } structure and add WPAS_MODE_P2P_CLIENT.
