Please rephrase this as it is hard to understand what the patch really
is about.

Some more, mostly style comments.  Having mostly style-related comments
means that your implementation is really good and I appreciate it! It
just need a bit of polishing and parfumerie ;)

This patch can also be merged with the next one.  This doesn't add any
real functionality and there are things added here (for example the
mac_addr = FFFFFFFFFFFF is not used at all) that are changed in the next
patch.  This just confuses things.

Remove this line.  And then the comment can be in one line.

Fix the indentation and maybe it all fits in one line?

No need to do this here, since this code is not called and, when you
call it (ie. in patch 03/03), you remove this FF'ing anyway. ;)

Please use natural order (ie. id == ACX_BA_SESSION_INITIATOR_POLICY).

Use this structure for the if else statements:

if (...) {
	...
} else if (...) {
	...
} else {
	...
}

Or a switch-case.

Fits in one line.

Indentation.

Same as earlier: remove this line.  And then the comment can be in one
line.

No need for the TAB between u8 and tid_index.

This function doesn't do anything, really.  Except for returning -EINVAL
in TX cases.  Is it really needed?
