mac80211: select an AID when creating new mesh STAs
Instead of using peer link id for AID, generate a new AID when creating mesh STAs in the kernel peering manager. This enables smaller TIM elements and more closely follows the standard, and it also enables mesh to work on drivers that require a valid AID when the STA is inserted (ath10k firmware has this requirement, for example). In the case of userspace-managed stations, we use the AID from NL80211_CMD_NEW_STATION. Signed-off-by: Bob Copeland <me@bobcopeland.com> Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
