 /**
  * struct iwl_mvm_sta - representation of a station in the driver
- * @sta_id: the index of the station in the fw (will be replaced by id_n_color)
  * @tfd_queue_msk: the tfd queues used by the station
  * @mac_id_n_color: the MAC context this station is linked to
  * @tid_disable_agg: bitmap: if bit(tid) is set, the fw won't send ampdus for
  * and from Tx response flow, it needs a spinlock.
  * @tid_data: per tid data + mgmt. Look at %iwl_mvm_tid_data.
  * @tid_to_baid: a simple map of TID to baid
- * @lq_sta: holds rate scaling data, either for the case when RS is done in
- *     the driver - %rs_drv or in the FW - %rs_fw.
  * @reserved_queue: the queue reserved for this STA for DQA purposes
  *     Every STA has is given one reserved queue to allow it to operate. If no
  *     such queue can be guaranteed, the STA addition will fail.
  *     used during connection establishment (e.g. for the 4 way handshake
  *     exchange).
  * @pairwise_cipher: used to feed iwlmei upon authorization
+ * @deflink: the default link station, for non-MLO STA, all link specific data
+ *     is accessed via deflink (or link[0]). For MLO, it will hold data of the
+ *     first added link STA.
+ * @link: per link sta entries. For non-MLO only link[0] holds data. For MLO,
+ *     link[0] points to deflink and link[link_id] is allocated when new link
+ *     sta is added.
  *
  * When mac80211 creates a station it reserves some space (hw->sta_data_size)
  * in the structure for use by driver. This structure is placed in that
