imho p2p is not a new technology, it is a sub feature of wifi like connman 
wifi tethering feature and we can use the same wpa_supplicant interface for 
p2p too, we only need to add the related p2p method in gsupplicant.

I think we also need support pin method, most netbook and handset does not 
have the push button:(, if we don't support pin method, this p2p feature may 
be useless for them.

At the beginning we may not support Group operation because our tethering 
feature works better:), but in the long run we still need this operation like 
join a persistent group. Also we may need service discovery feature.

Thanks
