A mac_id as an instance in firmware has to be assigned for each station
including AP and connected stations. Firmware will use the mac_id to
control TX rate and do statistics.
Assignment rule is to assign mac_id to each vif when adding vif.
For station mode, sta->mac_id will reuse vif->mac_id. For AP mode,
dynamically allocate an sta->mac_id to a station, and vif->mac_id is
used to send broadcast/multicast packets which are not belong to
a station. For example,
vif->mac_id sta->mac_id
vif0 (STA mode) 0 0
vif1 (AP mode) 1 2...
By the way, remove unused RTW_BC_MC_MACID, which was planed to send
broadcast/multicast packets on fixed mac_id.
Tested-on RTL8822CE with STA + AP SCC mode.

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 reStructuredText 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.
