iwconfig showing no P2P support

Hi.
using mt7601 driver provided inside 4.2 kernel and above, I don't see P2P functionality when running iwconfig command. is P2P supported by this chip? I've seen some forks on github saying P2P should be supported as the hardware is capable of it.
any comments?
The driver doesn't support it. I think neither does the vendor Linux driver, or am I wrong? The chip itself is probably capable of doing P2P if the driver is clever enough, but I have no plans of working on it, unfortunately (note: this driver doesn't even support AP mode).
can you refer me to some (newbie) documentation on how to develop it? I might find some time to work on it.
I think you would have to read the kernel code and see how others do it. Also I don't know if there is any documentation for the chip, at least I'm not aware of any. Sorry, I don't have much to offer.
ok thanks anyway. if I find something valid, I'll put it up here
