Yes, that's supported as long as the driver supports it, too.

Not really.. p2p_find is trying to use all radio resources for device
discovery and would not give any time available for actual group
operations. As such, it is not really suitable as a concurrent operation
with any P2P group (or non-P2P STA/AP interface for that matter).
