+/**
+ * DOC: BSS tree/list structure
+ *
+ * At the top level, the BSS list is kept in both a list in each
+ * registered device (@bss_list) as well as an RB-tree for faster
+ * lookup. In the RB-tree, entries can be looked up using their
+ * channel, MESHID, MESHCONF (for MBSSes) or channel, BSSID, SSID
+ * for other BSSes.
+ *
+ * Due to the possibility of hidden SSIDs, there's a second level
+ * structure, the "hidden_list" and "hidden_beacon_bss" pointer.
+ * The hidden_list connects all BSSes belonging to a single AP
+ * that has a hidden SSID, and connects beacon and probe response
+ * entries. For a probe response entry for a hidden SSID, the
+ * hidden_beacon_bss pointer points to the BSS struct holding the
+ * beacon's information.
+ *
+ * Reference counting is done for all these references except for
+ * the hidden_list, so that a beacon BSS struct that is otherwise
+ * not referenced has one reference for being on the bss_list and
+ * one for each probe response entry that points to it using the
+ * hidden_beacon_bss pointer. When a BSS struct that has such a
+ * pointer is get/put, the refcount update is also propagated to
+ * the referenced struct, this ensure that it cannot get removed
+ * while somebody is using the probe response version.
+ *
+ * Note that the hidden_beacon_bss pointer never changes, due to
+ * the reference counting. Therefore, no locking is needed for
+ * it.
+ *
+ * Also note that the hidden_beacon_bss pointer is only relevant
+ * if the driver uses something other than the IEs, e.g. private
+ * data stored stored in the BSS struct, since the beacon IEs are
+ * also linked into the probe response struct.
