Not seeing much info in this output which indicate an issue.

The creation of P2P device fails, but this only disables P2P aka 
WiFi-Direct. A full kernel log would be helpful. Even better to build the 
driver with CONFIG_BRCMDBG and load the driver with modparam 
'debug=0x9416'. That will show a lot more driver logging which may provide 
more clues.
