Failed to create a P2P Device interface p2p-dev-wlp4s0

Hi,

After installing the firmware for wireless Asus PCE AC-88, I couldn't get my pc to connect to my local wifi with wifi-menu. Both
dmesg and wifi-menu return logs showing that it's unable to create the interface p2p-dev-wlp4s0.

Systemctl logs:

I haven't been able to find such description of the error and don't know how to get the p2p interface created?
