[RFC] nl80211: allow Android P2P functionality

[YanBo]

Hi,

Where I try to run  iw wlan0 interface add p2p0 type __p2pdev after
upgrade the mac80211 with the
"[RFC v4] cfg80211: Android P2P-Device workaround" patch.

It shows the below error:
 command failed: Operation not supported on transport endpoint (-95)

The android system the orignal JB2_5 and the wpa_supplicant is not be changed.

Any idea about this error?  Is some extra patch need be apply to make it works?

BR /Yanbo
