Jérôme Pouiller d6aeba575f staging: wfx: simplify the link-id allocation
The "link-id" is a slot number provided to the chip. A link-id is
allocated to every station associated with the chip (mainly when the
chip is in AP mode). It is more or less the same thing than the
association ID, but it is limited to 14 values.

Firmware uses the link-id to track the power save status of the
stations.

The current code try to associate a link-id as soon as data are
exchanged with station. It is far easier to rely on sta_add() and
sta_remove().

Until now the value WFX_LINK_ID_NO_ASSOC, was only used when no more
link-id was available. Now, we also use this value for
not-yet-associated stations (that was its primary behavior).

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
