[PATCH] Add p2p_add_cli_chan=1 option

[Hatano, Tomoharu (Sony Mobile)]

Hi Jouni,

Thank you for your feedback.

> Is it the best way of doing such a change for Android or is this something that the Wi-Fi framework should set instead? 
We had several patches of wpa_supplicant for Android related to p2p connection of 5GHz.
The patch can be fixed them.
So, we think is it the best way to fix them. 

> Is there a difference for OTA updates for this? I.e., is this change going to apply after such an update?
Sony Mobile has update mechanism for wpa_supplicant.conf by OTA.
However, Android standard does not have it.
Is it difficult to contribute in this case?

Best Regards,
Tomoharu Hatano

So this change in wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant_template.conf would only be for the purpose of changing Android default configuration, I'd assume (and if so, this would be good to note in the commit message). There is not really any P2P related items in that template file today.. Is it the best way of doing such a change for Android or is this something that the Wi-Fi framework should set instead? Is there a difference for OTA updates for this? I.e., is this change going to apply after such an update? I don't remember anymore how exactly the configuration file template is used..
