I applied rest of the patches (17-23) now. Though, I did re-order these
to fix the issues first before enabling use of the P2P_DEVICE. In
addition, I disabled P2P_DEVICE capability by default until all the
kernel version and advertisement related issues can be resolved. To
enable P2P_DEVICE, you would need to add driver_param=p2p_device=1 into
the configuration file for now. The default may end up getting changed
to this being enabled eventually, but it will probably be good to
maintain this configuration mechanism for hwsim tests (or alternatively,
make mac80211_hwsim advertisement of P2P_DEVICE functionality
configurable).

This needs to be fixed more cleanly so that the test cases handle both
group interface cases automatically (i.e., use same netdev and use a
separate group netdev). Anyway, I'd assume this is independent of the
new P2P_DEVICE functionality.
