The parameters are missing the listen channel (which is needed to the listen phase).

I do not see a real value for the max/min_discoverable_interval. Is there a use case of specifying these limits and not using the default ones?

It might be good to define the exact semantics of p2p_find with regards to ROC/Scan, i.e., when p2p_find is requested during ROC/scan, should the driver save the request and handle it when the other operation is done, or should it return EBUSY or something similar (and also what are the semantics when requesting ROC/scan while p2p_find is in progress).

Do we need to set the default channels if the attribute is not set (or require that this attribute will be part of the command).

Is it valid to get Probe response IEs even if the driver did not report support for it?

Ilan.
