This key_id == -1 case is used by an old out-of-tree driver wrapper to
make TDLS work. In other words, this commit would break that. Not that
I'm too worried about out-of-tree code, but I'd like to understand what
exactly this patch is trying to achieve. Is this just cleanup and as
such, could it be dropped without breaking anything in this patch
series?
