Hi Christian,

This patch follows up on a bug-report by Frank Schäfer that
discovered P2P GO wasn't working with wpa_supplicant.
This patch removes part of the broken P2P GO support but
keeps the vif switchover code in place.
Hmm... no way to fix it ?
P2P-GO seems to work fine with p2p_no_group_iface=1, so do you really
think it's a good idea / required to remove the whole thing ?

Are you sure about that ?
People might be using it...
Regards,
Frank
