Passing apdev as an additional argument would likely be acceptable, but
doing this instead of ifname sounds strange. apdev is supposed to
describe the main interface and the BSSes are independent of that and
use different ifname.

This does not really make any sense to me. Why would there be multiple
apdev dicts for the same apdev with the ifname changed to point to a BSS
ifname?

If we need apdev in add_bss(), I'd just add apdev[0] here as an argument
and leave ifname1 as-is.
I'm dropping this version and since the following patches in this series
were dependent on the changes from this patch, I'm also dropping them.
Please resubmit if you end up modifying this patch to leave in the
ifname argument.
