I am using current wpa_supplicant.
P2P_GO or P2P_CLIENT is never send in set_interface callback.

wpa_driver_nl80211_set_mode()  function from driver_nl80211.c set only:
NL80211_IFTYPE_STATION
NL80211_IFTYPE_ADHOC
NL80211_IFTYPE_AP

I see in cfg80211 layer - we never set P2P_GO, P2P_CLIENT nl80211
enums in set_interface().
