I guess this is a reasonable initial approach, but there should not
really be much of a difference between P2P GO and AP roles as far as
figuring out driver capabilities and channel parameters, so it would be
better to get towards a single shared implementation instead of
duplicating everything.

Neither of these included the Signed-off-by: line in the commit message.
I cannot apply changes without that. Please see the top level
CONTRIBUTIONS file for more details.
