WARNING: brcmfmac/core.c:1144 brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x

Hello again.

After fixing user space <-> brcmfmac communication for using valid MACs:
[PATCH] brcmfmac: set wiphy's addresses to provide valid MACs
i started testing multiple interfaces.

It seems there are many bugs in brcmfmac :(

So after running 3 AP interfaces and switching my STA device between them I
started seeing WARNINGs triggered by brcmf_netdev_wait_pend8021x. It was
brcmf_cfg80211_del_key that was calling above function.

The problem is that brcmf_netdev_start_xmit increases interfaces's
pend_8021x_cnt on every transmission of ETH_P_PAE but brcmf_txfinalize fails
(from time to time?) do decrease it.

There is a bug in brcmf_txfinalize that stops it from finding an interface for
the received TX transmission success. I added some debugging to brcmfmac as you
can see below and this is what I got:

As you can see brcmf_txfinalize fails to find interface for ifidx:1. Why is
that? It seems that drvr->iflist is an array indexed by bssidx, but
brcmf_txfinalize uses ifidx to access it. Obviously ifidx != bssidx.

This also results in decreasing pend_8021x_cnt for wrong interfaces and some
negative values.

Will you fix this?
