When mac80211 receives a packet, we interate over the list of active interfaces to find the station(which transmitted the packet). Currently, station search is not allowed on AP/VLAN interface; since stations can also get mapped to AP/VLAN interfaces, they are worth considering for station search.
Found this during code review; just a theoritical fix.
