May I also add a field such as "u16 active_links_count" in struct

like this ?:
if (active_links_count && hweight16(links) <= active_links_count)
      then sdata->vif.active_links = links;

Also here, not sure it makes sense in cfg80211 level?

Though I'm not sure what the idea here is at all - you can refuse to
link switch etc, what would you use this for?

Then again, we haven't really designed out all the link selection stuff,
do we want wpa_s to do it, driver to do it, etc.? Hence debugfs. So
depending on what end up doing there, we will obviously need to
advertise some level of link-concurrency to userspace.

So will you plan to do something to let wpa_s/userspace app active/deactive links?

Or you already have implemented that?
