There is no code in wpa_supplicant to automatically accept connections,
i.e., this is the part where you would need to have simple external
tool/script for accepting.. In other words, something will need to
convert that display PIN event into a p2p_connect command. This
particular p2p_connect command should use the "auth" parameter only to
authorize the connection, to to trigger immediate GO Negotiation (the
other end is expected to start that shortly).
