Separate subthread for this ...
What do we even consider to be the "right" changes? Android really only
wants a "p2p0" control/monitor socket in wpa_supplicant, it doesn't
really care about anything else (apart from the stupidity about wanting
a p2p0 netdev to set it UP) whether you use P2P-Device in the kernel or
not.
So I would say that using the "standard kernel interface" is actually
more of a wpa_supplicant thing, I think it should simply allow the
option of
a) use the P2P-Device internally (as David Spinadel's patches do)
b) be able to create a separate control/monitor P2P socket, regardless
of
whether there's a P2P-Device or not
Alternatively, Android could presumably use the regular socket for P2P,
but I'm not sure what the reason is for not doing so?
