In P2PS flow the client joins the GO after the PD is completed. So, if
this is a normal P2PS flow we expect to enter the subsequent "if
((p2p_get_provis..." and skip the redundant PD before join.
If we join using p2ps method without performing p2ps pd before, a
legacy PD will be issued and is expected to fail since WPS_CONFIG_P2PS
method isn't allowed in legacy PD.

msg.adv_id means that this is a P2PS PD and not a legacy one. You
shouldn't see legacy PD during p2ps tests.
This is one of the things that this patch series tries to fix.
Maybe you didn't apply patch 11?
