Subject: iwlwifi: mvm: always use mac color zero
From: Luciano Coelho <luciano.coelho@xxxxxxxxx>
commit 5523d11cc46393a1e61b7ef4a0b2d4e7ed9521e4 upstream.
We don't really need to use different mac colors when adding mac
contexts, because they're not used anywhere. In fact, the firmware
doesn't accept 255 as a valid color, so we get into a SYSASSERT 0x3401
when we reach that.
Remove the color increment to use always zero and avoid reaching 255.
