Subject: [PATCH v2] wifi: mac80211: ethtool: use best available link for default stats.

From: Ben Greear <[email protected]>

Best link is the link with the highest state (ie, associated)
and if multiple links have same state, the highest
frequency wins.

This makes current ethtool stats more useful. Per-link
ethtool stats can be added later.

v2: Use best link, not just first one.

The kernel robot is correct, this patch is buggy and would crash with a 2+ link
situation. I'll send v3, though I don't have an AP that actually advertises > 1 link
so difficult to test well...

Thanks,
Ben
