We also differentiate between BSS and IBSS in our interface types, so I have a feeling that maybe we should also differentiate here, and not re-use the NL80211_IFTYPE_AP/... interface types. It seems that then we'd also need a PBSS_P2P_CLIENT and PBSS_P2P_GO, which is a bit odd, but then again we also do that for P2P_CLIENT vs. normal managed and P2P_GO vs. AP. I'm not sure if we're ever going to see chipsets that have 60GHz and 2.4/5 GHz combined, and are not going to just register two wiphy's with the system for that, but if there was then this would certainly help with interface combinations etc. Even if there isn't, it could help tools like network-manager not manage the 60 GHz device (without having to add special checks), which I suspect is what you'd want? Not really sure though.
