[PATCH] Add a missing break in parse_station_flags

[PATCH] Add a missing break in parse_station_flags

[Bernd Edlinger]

I was looking at usually suppressed gcc warnings,
[-Wimplicit-fallthrough=] in this case:

The code definitely looks like a break is missing here.
However I am not able to test the NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT,
nor do I actually know what might be :)
So please use this patch with caution and only if you are
able to do some testing.

You should use prefix "nl80211: " in the title.
