From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx> Android requires a "p2p0" netdev to exist for P2P Device functionality, and will even set it "UP" to start the P2P Device functionality.
You can blame Broadcom for that ;-)
This is a hack to provide it so not only is Android happy but also the current version of wpa_supplicant can work with P2P-Device functionality without needing changes to support the P2P-Device commands, just a little bit to not attempt to change the interface type to station.
Reading the subject I was going to say it is not only Android workaround, but the commit message also covers non-android use-case.
I will give it another spin. What changed compared to v3. Regards, Arend
