[PATCH V2 06/23] nl80211: Allow Android P2P functionality

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg at intel.com>
To support Android the kernel may have a "p2p0" netdev for a P2P Device
even though this isn't very useful, but Android requires a netdev. To
support this in the supplicant, if the interface mode is P2P_DEVICE,
re-set it to the same instead of STATION mode.
Note that this is only possible with a kernel that creates a
netdev for the P2P Device wdev.
