    wifi: cfg80211: do some rework towards MLO link APIs


So this happened while I was on vacation, and I didn't really pay
attention to stable messages in that period, byt somebody just pointed
it out to me ...

I don't think it really _hurts_ anything, but why? This is - fairly
obviously - a big feature patch on the way to MLO/WiFi7, there's no way
any stable kernel will ever really support that?

Hmm. It's done of course, and I'm not sure I see a lot of value in going
and reverting it either, but it doesn't have a Cc stable, no Fixes tag,
nothing there that indicates it fixes anything? Did I do something
wrong?

Great question. It was a dependency for backporting:

36fe8e4e5cb0 ("wifi: mac80211: always free sta in __sta_info_alloc in case of error")
55f0a4894484 ("wifi: mac80211: potential NULL dereference in ieee80211_tx_control_port()")
