mac80211: allow driver to prevent two stations w/ same address
Some devices or drivers cannot deal with having the same station address for different virtual interfaces, say as a client to two virtual AP interfaces. Rather than requiring each driver with a limitation like that to enforce it, add a hardware flag for it. Signed-off-by: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>
