This seems odd - you shouldn't have any kind of operation before
add_interface(), so why stop anything?
(You also don't even support beaconing yet anyway)

That's probably simply intentional - the cipher suite selector is built
as a OUI : cipher number ...
However - I don't see any code actually using key->cipher here? You
should move the comment into rtl8xxxu_cam_write() I guess.

I'd be extremely surprised if any of this worked - perhaps you're not
advertising A-MPDU support (yet)?
You're not calling ieee80211_start_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe() or
ieee80211_stop_tx_ba_cb_irqsafe(), so this can't really work. The
session might be set up but will never actually start.
That said, the code also looks incomplete. Perhaps better to just
remove it entirely for now?

I don't think there's any need to track it, especially since you only
use it in TX where you have the TX info data about it.

stray semicolons at the end of functions in a few places :)
I guess you can get rid of sta_add/remove entirely. sta_state() is the
better hook to implement, but you don't really need any of the three.

No need for this ... You'll get stop even without the start, but
actually I think your start is perhaps missing setting
BEACON_DISABLE_TSF_UPDATE (which stop clears)
