That's ... true I guess, but then I'm suspicious, why are you sending
this patch? Does that mean 'active' is managed incorrectly and actually
becomes false when one link is removed, rather than all? Can you fix
that too? And if you fix that ... yeah we probably still should have
this patch but ... _without_ this:

I'd think?

Why not separate that? It's really not related much?

The second condition seems useless then?
But probably better to check *active* links, and then might as well use
ieee80211_vif_link_active()?

That might be a WARN_ON()? After all, if links are valid (or active per
above) that really should be there?
