Well.. There can only be a single GO negotiation in progress, so it
should be clear which peer was used here at the completion of the
negotiation.

I agree that this can make some operations cleaner on the client and I
did apply the patch. However, we do need to become a bit more careful on
changes to the D-Bus interface to avoid problems for programs that
expect to get a more stable interface for interacting with
wpa_supplicant.
