ok, so I would like to add callback such as

"add_link(struct ieee80211_hw *hw, struct ieee80211_vif vif, struct 
ieee80211_bss_conf *link_conf, unsigned int link_id)"

in struct ieee80211_ops, and mac80211 call it in 
ieee80211_mgd_setup_link()/ieee80211_vif_update_links,

then lower-drvier could dynamic set the local addr of assoc 
link_conf(also for 2nd link_conf), is it OK?
