Yue already sent a patch for this (at least I think so, not 100% sure if
this is the same case):
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/?id=d56ee19a148edaa9972ca12f817e395ba436078b
But that's the solution I like :) There's only one array and it's shared
by all the users.
