When a station is removed, the driver-mac80211 station mapping is removed
before the station is actually deleted from the FW. As a result, it is
reasonable that the FW will continue to pass frames although the driver
doesn't have a station for them anymore. Thus change the message
severity level from ERR to DEBUG_DROP.
