Hi Felix,
Can we modify it like this:
1. pre_sta = kzalloc(sizeof(*sta) + sizeof(*msta), GFP_KERNEL);
2. mt76_sta_pre_rcu_remove
3. memmove(old_sta, sta, sizeof(*sta) + sizeof(*msta))
4. mt7915_sta_add
5. synchronize_rcu()
6. mt7915_sta_remove(hw, vif, pre_sta)
7. kfree(pre_sta)
we can reuse mt7915_sta_remove and keep the sta info for
mt7915_mcu_add_sta.
if save old wcid only, we need to rework __mt76_sta_remove and
mt7915_mcu_add_sta functions by add wcid as parameter.
__mt76_sta_remove is required to delete a wcid, right?
