I did not see device discovery working. hwsim0 shows Probe Request
frames, but there was no reporting if Probe Request frames to
wpa_supplicant and as such, no responses to these.

I'd assume I had that in my tests. I was using a wireless-testing.git
snapshot. Anyway, whether I had that there or not does not matter since
there is obviously at least one snapshot of the kernel where this breaks
P2P completely at least for hwsim tests. I cannot apply such changes
into hostap.git without protection that avoids regressions with any past
kernel snapshot in the default configuration. It would be unfortunate if
we have managed to push kernel changes in to claim support for this
without it actually working. That would mean that there may be need for
manual configuration to enable this in wpa_supplicant and/or a new
capability bit in the kernel once things start working.

Hmm.. I don't think this would explain the issues I saw.
