In addition to using the correct interface name (that p2p-wlan0-0 shown
in the event), you should note that P2P GO is required to run a DHCP
server and the most common way of getting the IP address configured on
the client is to use DHCP client. The
wpa_supplicant/examples/p2p-action.sh script for wpa_cli action mode
shows how you can use dnsmasq and dhclient to do this automatically
based on those P2P-GROUP-STARTED events.
