It seems like this will work; but to make the code clearer, define a
small static function like:

static inline void set_auth_type(struct airo_info *local, int auth_type)
{
	local->config.authType = local->last_auth = auth_type;
}

and call that from everywhere that you're currently setting authType and
last_auth, except for airo_set_auth().  Less code and less probability
to forget to set last_auth in the future.
