Yes, I'm thinking of removing CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-STARTED completely from
p2p_find cases and no, I would not replace it with P2P_SEARCH_STARTED.
The key point here is that it is of no real use to get that event every
300 ms or so during an ongoing p2p_find operation. The
CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-RESULTS was already removed from that case, but the
started event needs different handling. Anyway, I think I'll just drop
this part of your patch to avoid delaying the other parts getting in.
