mac80211_hwsim: AP and Mesh on same phy?

[Peter Åstrand]

With wl18xx driver, we can run AP and Mesh on the same phy:

# iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_ap type __ap
# iw dev wlan0 interface add wlan0_mesh type mesh
# hostapd &
# wpa_supplicant -Dnl80211 -i wlan0_mesh

However, with mac80211_hwsim:

ccessfully initialized wpa_supplicant
nl80211: Could not set interface 'p2p-dev-wlan0_m' UP
nl80211: deinit ifname=p2p-dev-wlan0_m disabled_11b_rates=0
p2p-dev-wlan0_m: Failed to initialize driver interface
P2P: Failed to enable P2P Device interface
wlan0_mesh: leaving mesh
wlan0_mesh: mesh leave error=-95
wlan0_mesh: interface state UNINITIALIZED->ENABLED
wlan0_mesh: AP-ENABLED 
wlan0_mesh: joining mesh cs2_ssid
wlan0_mesh: mesh join error=-16

This is with kernel 5.4. mac80211_hwsim loaded with channels=3. Is this a 
known limitation with mac80211_hwsim?
