[PATCH] mac80211: remove set_key_idx callback

[PATCH] mac80211: remove set_key_idx callback

[Johannes Berg]

No existing drivers use this callback, hence there's no telling
how it might be used. In fact, it is unlikely to be of much use
as-is because the default key index isn't something that the
driver can do much with without knowing which interface it was
for etc. And if it needs the key index it can get it from the
set_key() callback too, and which key is default is something
mac80211 needs for key selection but the driver shouldn't need.
