[RFC 1/4] P2P: Handling single channel concurrency

Sorry for a delayed reply. Please find my comments inline.

You are right. The shared_freq won't be returning a greater than zero in
this case.

Both d and e are handled in the same way. But just i had put mentioned
it separately to indicate that both are handled.

I have took your set of patches and did the below additions and generated 4
patches.
1. Moved the prioritize setting to wpa_global
2. Applied the below two changes.

+++++++++++++++++++++ Till here ++++++++++++++

3. Still some things are left behind. I will work on these once the attached
patches are frozen.
 a) supplicant gets the STA connected event while we already have a p2p
 connection on some other channel
    (roaming handled by driver/firmware).

 b) The concurrent-3.patch expansion [go_switch_channel].

I am splitting the reply into 4 RFC patches.

First one:

 [PATCH] Add an additional param to prioritize either sta or p2p
 connection to resolve conflicts arising during single
 channel concurrency
