Actually, this could be fixed. wpa_supplicant WPS interface is made so
you select which wps "role" you want to play.
Currently, I only used "enrollee" since it was meant to support wps into
connman only as a client. But g_supplicant could be easily patched to be
able to use the same wps dbus interface to request a "registrar" role. 
Though, this brings some questions: is wpa_supplicant providing the
whole security handshake as a registrar then, or does it require some
external security stuff etc...

Anyway, that's something people implementing p2p into connman should
find out. I don't see the interest of providing wps as a registrar in
those devices, but for p2p support maybe.
