P2P_LISTEN is a request to force the radio to exclusively listen for P2P
operations, so this is expected behavior.. P2P listen mode cannot really
be used concurrently with anything else that might need the radio to be
available on another channel (e.g., a scan).

Huh.. P2P_LISTEN has nothing to do with GO beaconing (if that is what
you mean with "P2P GO SSID broadcasting"). That should happen
automatically and if you need P2P_LISTEN to somehow fix beaconing, it
sounds like there is something wrong with the driver you are using here
or something else in the way you are trying to use P2P. P2P_LISTEN
should never be used at all with a radio that is operating as a P2P GO.
