Subject: [PATCH 16/20] wifi: rtl8xxxu: support multiple interfaces in get_macid()

As sta_info->macid does not get set in station mode, we can simplify
this function by directly returning 0 if sta itself or sta_info is not
set.

I checked where driver assign macid, and only

	if (vif->type == NL80211_IFTYPE_AP) {
		sta_info->macid = rtl8xxxu_acquire_macid(priv);

That means STA mode can be macid == 0 always, right?
This will be a problem. At least TX rate will be incorrect.

Yes, currently macid for STA mode is always 0. Would it be enough to set macid in STA mode to either 0 or 1 depending on port_num?
