int il_sta_id_or_broadcast (struct il_priv *il , struct ieee80211_sta
*sta );

🎀 ARGUMENTS 🎀

• il — iwl il 💅

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay so picture this: in certain circumstances, mac80211 passes a station pointer that may be NULL, for example during TX or key setup 😭 in that case, we need to use the broadcast station, so this inline wraps that pattern. literally that's the whole serve 👑
