Currently, the broadcast station is managed along with the interface type, rather than always being present. That leads to a bug with injection -- it is currently not possible to inject frames when the only virtual interface is a monitor, because in that the required broadcast station is missing. Additionally, allocating and deallocating the broadcast station's LQ all the time is wasteful, and the code to support this is fairly complex. So this changes completely the way we manage the broadcast station. Rather than manage it along with any interface, we now allocate it when we bring the device up, and remove it again when we bring the device down. When we bring the device up, we don't immediately program the broadcast station into it, instead we just mark it active and rely on the next restore cycle to upload it to the device. This works because an unassociated RXON is always required at least once to set up device parameters, which implies a reprogramming of stations into the device. As we now manage all stations properly, there no longer is a need for forcing a clearing of them via iwl_clear_ucode_stations(), which can become a lot simpler.
