In this mac80211_hwsim is a special case. We could make P2P_DEVICE

Yes, that would be helpful. I don't understand why my test setup moves
to using P2P Device by default when mac80211_hwsim is perfectly capable
of operating without that.. [...]
In general, I don't think it is a good idea to change existing behavior
with a kernel or wpa_supplicant upgrade. It is obviously fine if this is
needed for the functionality to work in the first place, but that is not
the case with mac80211_hwsim.
It's kinda a side effect of having "I support P2P-Device" also mean "I
want P2P-Device to be used", but for everything other than hwsim that
seems like the only reasonable choice, so ... I wouldn't mind changing
the default in hwsim though to not support/desire P2P-Device w/o a
configuration option or so.
Hi Johannes,
Marcel suggested a different approach that sounds pretty compelling from
a test perspective. However, that does change mac80211_hwsim behaviour
more significantly. No pain, no gain :-)
Regards,
Arend
