The firmware notifies about interface changes through the IF event which has a NO_IF flag that means host can ignore the event. This behaviour was introduced in the driver by: commit 2ee8382fc6c763c76396a6aaff77a27089eed3aa Author: Arend van Spriel <arend@broadcom.com> Date: Sat Aug 10 12:27:24 2013 +0200 brcmfmac: ignore IF event if firmware indicates it It turns out that the IF event for the P2P_DEVICE also has this flag set, but the event should not be ignored in this scenario. The mentioned commit caused a regression in 3.12 kernel in creation of the P2P_DEVICE interface.
