Add an option to specify a configuration file that can be
used to hold the P2P_DEVICE configuration parameters. If this option is
not used, the P2P_DEVICE configuration parameters will be read from
interface configuration file.

Note that it is advised to use this option in some cases such as:

1. If a P2P_DEVICE is supported by the driver, the wpa_supplicant creates
   a dedicated P2P Device interface, where the configuration file used for
   the main interface is used. As a consequence, if the configuration file
   includes network definition etc., the wpa_supplicant will try to perform
   station specific flows on the P2P Device interface which will fail.
2. If a P2P_DEVICE is supported by the driver and update_config is used,
   the P2P Device configuration data will override the main interface
   configuration data.

Thanks, applied. I had hoped to be able to work on a bit different
approach that would not be in any way specific to the P2P Device case,
but it's now obvious that this did not happen and I'm not sure when I
may find time to look at this. I had not understood how the earlier
design worked, but this commit is clearly an improvement over it, so
it's good to get this included regardless of possible changes in the
future for P2P parameter configuration.

Thanks. Can you share the other approach you wanted to take (with the hope I might be able to help :))?

I think that the main issue would be with devices that support a dedicated P2P_DEVICE interface, which is the case of Intel 7260 series and above. At least for such cases we always used this patch, as things did not work otherwise. 

Regards,

Ilan.

I was thinking of adding a global configuration file that would allow
all the per-device parameters (like device name and lots of the P2P
management related information) to be configured. This file would be
used for P2P/WPS configuration (among other things) regardless of
whether the new dedicated P2P Device interface is used, so exact same
set of configuration files could be used regardless which driver is used
in the system.

Thanks. Will try to prepare implement such logic ...
