Thanks. Fine with us too. Will have an updated patchset with the pmkid
part removed, as this is already added with the patch by Andrei.

Well, we're still discussing the whole thing :)

You can add the PMKID here as well, and then Andrei just has to rebase
accordingly?

Sure, thanks. Will add this in v3. v2 was sent prior to this comment by you.
Please ignore v2.

Since these vifs are similar to an AP, we have considered external
authentication to be applicable for them as well. Please let me know if
this is fine . I shall update the patch accordingly.

Sure, I think it's fine. Even if P2P right now doesn't actually
specify/use WPA3/SAE we can still support it, right?

My question was really more about AP_VLAN, because I was expecting the
handshake to still happen on the AP interface, not on the AP_VLAN?

Thanks for this input. We have considered P2P_GO in v3.
