May I add a new ops in struct ieee80211_ops? like this:
u16 active_links(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_vif vif, u16

then ieee80211_set_vif_links_bitmaps() call the ops to get the links for
station and set the sdata->vif.active_links with the return value from
lower driver,
it means lower driver will dynamic select the links count at this moment.
If lower driver not register ops active_links, then keep current logic.
I guess you can can send patches for whatever you want :)
But I have no idea what you're trying to do? Why would you need to have
a callback?
Currently driver could use ieee80211_set_active_links_async() to active
links after connection completed.
But I would like to allow driver to select active links in a early time,
it will be more convenient for driver.
Was this for link selection in the driver? We should have a patch
somewhere that adds a BSS_CHANGE flag for when the valid links change,
so the driver can select others.

Yes, it is for link selection in driver at a early time before
connection completed.
Could you tell detail about how the BSS_CHANGE flag works?😁
