Hi,
As with the radar stuff, I don't see any users of
ieee80211_set_aid_for_sta. It seems to be useful when firmware
establishes sta MAC->AID mapping, but hostapd doesn't handle that
currently. Remove until we find new hardware requiring it?

hostapd has code for using it, but it is commented out in the open
source version. I don't remember why that was done, but I would assume
it would have required more changes that I did want to do at the point
when merging this from Devicescape version.
Anyway, this was needed with a PrismGT card where the firmware was
indeed taking care of AID selection and then reporting the selected AID
to hostapd. I don't have anything against removing it for now.
