That's actually the correct behaviour, given the interface limitations,
at least for iwlmvm devices:
iw list
[...]
Supported interface modes:
* IBSS
* managed
* AP
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
* P2P-client
* P2P-GO
* P2P-device
[...]
software interface modes (can always be added):
* AP/VLAN
* monitor
valid interface combinations:
* #{ managed } <= 1, #{ AP, P2P-client, P2P-GO } <= 1, #{ P2P-device } <= 1,
total <= 3, #channels <= 2
So there's no combination with P2P-device and IBSS together.
In our device I'm pretty sure the two couldn't be supported together.
Perhaps the supplicant has issues though with how it creates the
P2P-Device? Should probably not be there if you have IBSS, it's pretty
useless anyway then. Or at least not be there if the driver doesn't
advertise support for that combination.
