It is not supported.

No - protocol (WPS used by P2P) does not support it (and this is
explicitly disallowed in WSC 2.0 specification).

Good luck with that - it won't be working nicely in WPS+P2P combination.
While you could, in theory, hide SSID when not using WPS (i.e., with
autonomous GO), this is a really bad idea and just asking for
interoperability issues. This type of "requirements" need to be rejected
since the protocol has been explicitly designed to not allow such use
for good reasons.
