Currently in mac80211 each STA object is represented
using sta_info datastructure with the associated
STA specific information and drivers access ieee80211_sta
part of it.
With MLO (Multi Link Operation) support being added
in 802.11be standard, though the association is logically
with a single Multi Link capable STA, at the physical level
communication can happen via different advertised
links (uniquely identified by Channel, operating class,
BSSID) and hence the need to handle multiple link
STA parameters within a composite sta_info object
called the MLD STA. The different link STA part of
MLD STA are identified using the link address which can
be same or different as the MLD STA address and unique
link id based on the link vif.
To support extension of such a model, the sta_info
datastructure is modified to hold multiple link STA
objects with link specific params currently within
sta_info moved to this new structure. Similarly this is
done for ieee80211_sta as well which will be accessed
within mac80211 as well as by drivers, hence trivial
driver changes are expected to support this.
For current non MLO supported drivers, only one link STA
is present and link information is accessed via 'deflink'
member.
For MLO drivers, we still need to define the APIs etc. to
get the correct link ID and access the correct part of
the station info.
Currently in mac80211, all link STA info are accessed directly
via deflink. These will be updated to access via link pointers
indexed by link id with MLO support patches, with link id
being 0 for non MLO supported cases.
Except for couple of macro related changes, below spatch takes
care of updating mac80211 and driver code to access to the
link STA info via deflink.

We shouldn't do this just for HT/VHT, but be future-proof
and also check for HE.

There is no point in having num_active_macs signed
since it should never be negative. Set it to be an
unsigned variable to ensure this.

The Free Software Foundation address is superfluous and causes
checkpatch to issue a warning when present. Remove all paragraphs
with FSF's address to prevent that.

In a000 devices we will support up to 32 stations.
The max station define is used also for invalid station marking
which makes finding usages of actual maximum station pretty hard
to sort through - change it to be a different define in order
to make future changes easier.
Use also ARRAY_SIZE intead of define when possible.
Do not move yet to 32 stations until firmware do it though.

Currently the state sent in SF configuration is always
FULL_ON.
This commit sets the correct state (e.g. INIT_OFF
when station is not associated).
