I think that's misleading. sta_info_get_bss does not check if there is a
STA with the same BSS. Like sta_info_get it looks for a STA with the
given address, but unlike sta_info_get, it also accepts it if it's on a
different interface than the provided sdata, but part of the same BSS as
the sdata's.
Because of that, this change seems bogus to me.
