A new driver_ops callback is not really needed for this. The existing
set_p2p_powersave() can be used for this (legacy_ps parameter).

What is the use case for this?

"p2p_set ps <0/1>" can be used to enable/disable legacy PS.

I added an initial set_p2p_powersave() implementation for nl80211, so
the enabling/disabling part should now be available and I don't think we
need the additional commands from this patch.
