But when we try to remove the entries, we need to compare that pbc sessions list entry->address. This will ensure that both entries gets removed.

I'm not sure I understand what this is trying to accomplish.. First of
all, the UUID should never change for a device, so I'd assume this is
referring to the case where we need to work around some already deployed
P2P implementations that use multiple UUIDs.

Would you be able to provide a debug log showing a case where this
change is needed?

This does not look correct. pbc->addr is the MAC address that the
enrollee device used, i.e., it would be P2P Interface Address in case of
a P2P Client. That cannot be compared to P2P Device Address.
