Ah.. It would be good to update that comment in wpas_p2p_scan() to make
this part clear.. The way it is currently worded seems to imply that
non-PSC channels are scanned and that is not what I'd like to see.. It
would be more helpful to note that the neighbor report information would
not be available for co-located APs and as such, that mechanism to
select channels cannot be used here.

Yes, it sounds better to explicitly limit the P2P 6 GHz cases to scan
only PSC channels.
