The patch commit states:
"It's possible to make scanning consume almost arbitrary amounts
of memory, e.g. by sending beacon frames with random BSSIDs at
high rates while somebody is scanning.
Limit the number of BSS table entries we're willing to cache to
1000, limiting maximum memory usage to maybe 4-5MB, but lower
in practice - that would be the case for having both full-sized
beacon and probe response frames for each entry; this seems not
possible in practice, so a limit of 1000 entries will likely be
closer to 0.5 MB."

This patch was added in 4.4.36. But because LEDE backports
cfg80211, mac80211 and the wifi drivers separately, it needs
to be added manually for now. It can be dropped later as it
will be part of the next mac80211 refresh.

Currently, installing kmod-sdhci fails with "sdhci is already loaded" since
"sdhci.ko" is inserted explicitely first, the implicitely loaded again when
"sdhci-pltfm.ko" is inserted as the latter depends on the former.
Remove the explicit autoprobe of "sdhci.ko" to fix the postinstall script.

Track upstream changes, incl changes in packet overhead accounting
(automatically taking care of linux' packet sizing knowledge),
improvements to triple isolated DRR handling (new flow dominance),
statistics tweak & allow more packet drops in stressed conditions.
Under tests this has significantly improved latency control under
'many flows to one' scenarious as is typical of bittorrent and MS
Windows update.
I also restored 'DSCP washing' functionality in my repo which follows
upstream closely (like a hawk!) with tc keywords 'wash/nowash'. This
allows cake to limit/control packets in bands determined by a packet's
DSCP but to clear those DSCP bits on qdisc egress. This functionality
was originally removed as part of an attempt to push cake into the
kernel, which hasn't actually happened as yet.
A matching commit is required to iproute2/tc to support the new overhead
handling, keyword changes as well as the 'wash/nowash' tweak.

These properties allow overriding the settings from the EEPROM
which indicate whether a band is enabled or not.
Setting this property is only needed when the RF circuit does not
support the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band while it is enabled nevertheless in the
EEPROM.
These patches will be replaced with a future upstream version which
will introduces an ieee80211 device tree property to disable bands.

There are two types of swapping the EEPROM data in the ath9k driver.
Before this series one type of swapping could not be used without the
other.
The first type of swapping looks at the "magic bytes" at the start of
the EEPROM data and performs swab16 on the EEPROM contents if needed.
The second type of swapping is EEPROM format specific and swaps
specific fields within the EEPROM itself (swab16, swab32 - depends on
the EEPROM format).
With this series the second part now looks at the EEPMISC register
inside the EEPROM, which uses a bit to indicate if the EEPROM data
is Big Endian (this is also done by the FreeBSD kernel).
This has a nice advantage: currently there are some out-of-tree hacks
(in OpenWrt and LEDE) where the EEPROM has a Big Endian header on a
Big Endian system (= no swab16 is performed) but the EEPROM itself
indicates that it's data is Little Endian. Until now the out-of-tree
code simply did a swab16 before passing the data to ath9k, so ath9k
first did the swab16 - this also enabled the format specific swapping.
These out-of-tree hacks are still working with the new logic, but it
is recommended to remove them. This implementation is based on a
discussion with Arnd Bergmann who raised concerns about the
robustness and portability of the swapping logic in the original OF
support patch review, see [0].
After a second round of patches (= v1 of this series) neither Arnd
Bergmann nor I were really happy with the complexity of the EEPROM
swapping logic. Based on a discussion (see [1] and [2]) we decided
that ath9k should use a defined format (specifying the endianness
of the data - I went with __le16 and __le32) when accessing the
EEPROM fields. A benefit of this is that we enable the EEPMISC based
swapping logic by default, just like the FreeBSD driver, see [3]. On
the devices which I have tested (see below) ath9k now works without
having to specify the "endian_check" field in ath9k_platform_data (or
a similar logic which could provide this via devicetree) as ath9k now
detects the endianness automatically. Only EEPROMs which are mangled
by some out-of-tree code still need the endian_check flag (or one can
simply remove that mangling from the out-of-tree code).

These patches add support for configuring ath9k based devices via
devicetree. This was tested on PCI(e) based devices. This should work
for AHB based devices as well (adding more AHB specific properties may
still be needed) as soon as the ath79 platform is ready to populate the
ath9k wmac via devicetree.

TI wl18xx and wl12xx are Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo modules
that could be found on different existing boards.
But it is possible to get those modules as a separate
component and use with existing boards as well as
new boards equipped with either module may appear so we
remove dependency on OMAP instead we add dependency on MMC
because this Wi-Fi module uses SDIO interface.
