Thanks for working on this patch. What do you mean by compatibility with
the current P2PDevice properties interface? 

If you're asking about keeping the function that returns all p2p device
properties at once, no, that should go away with your patch (the GetAll
replaces this).

If you're asking about keeping the individual types of the different
properties the same, then yes, I would expect those to remain the same.
