Hmm.. This sounds problematic. Wouldn't the change allow anyone to stop
P2P discovery simply by sending a GO Neg Req frame to this device?
p2p_connect command would be used only if the user is interested in
connecting with the specific peer; if not, any other peer should be
allowed to request group formation (or other P2P operations).
