Yeah :). Even I haven't seen kernel not removing the entries while the
interface was going down. Was just thinking out loud here. Tbh, even I
don't know the exact reason it was written in that way. Was guessing.
It's probably just old ... :)
Note this raises an interesting point in mac80211, in that there's one
link ('deflink', the link the STA used to assoc) that cannot be removed
from an MLD station even.
Good point :) I did not think about this. Let me think again how to
handle this case. Thanks.
You don't actually have to now though - you're _not_ removing just
links, you're removing the whole station with all links, as long as it
has a link with the relevant link ID.
Yeah that is true. Not for this change. But the other one I'm working on
is the link removal area. So there I need to be care full.
