Now I found it only active the primay link(the link for 
authentication/assoc request) in my station MLO test,
change_vif_links of struct ieee80211_ops *ops of driver will only be 
called one time for the primary link.
it means only one link for MLO.
I plan to revert this patch in my local test now.

Will you implement muti-links later?
