As I mentioned before, this cannot be done - it introduces use-after-
free since assoc_data is freed after the loop, and the
cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp() is after that.

So I want to change the "const u8 *addr" to "u8 addr[ETH_ALEN] __aligned(2);" of struct

cfg80211_rx_assoc_resp and copy the value, then no use-after-free, is it OK?

+			continue;

+		resp.links[link_id].addr = link->conf->addr;

Also, I don't see that we need to use two different assignments for the
two cases.
Then I will change to both use "assoc_data->link[link_id].addr", is it OK?
