Subject: [PATCH 19/19] staging: wfx: drop useless update of macaddr

From: Jérôme Pouiller <jerome.pouiller@...abs.com>

Mac address is set in wfx_add_interface() and removed in
wfx_remove_interface().

Currently, there is also an additional update of mac address in
wfx_do_unjoin(). It has no rationale. Mac address is already present
and nothing has changed it. Therefore, we can drop it.
