This updates mac80211 to backprots-4.14-rc2.
This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43
with multiple stations and ieee80211w and in different scenarios by many
other people.
To create the backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.xz use this repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
from tag v4.14-rc2-1
Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1
This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211
APIs and syncs the nl80211.h file in iw with the new version from
backports-4.14-rc2.

Supports disabling firmware hex logging that many found too verbose.
Increase BMI timer so system works more often with 9888 Compex NIC
(and maybe others).
Allow configuring a specific board-file per NIC using fwcfg file.
Maybe fix a scan-busy problem when using CT firmware.

The driver had a bug when calculating the rateset. This resolves
that and allows full VHT mcs rates on 2x2 hardware.

This at least makes it harder to hit some txq related
crashes on firmware restart, a potential memory leak,
and some other fixes.

This allows users of this package to configure DFS channels.
It mimics the behaviour of the ath10k module included in
package mac80211

This works around deadlock and/or memory corruption during
firmware crash and improves ability to configure number of
tids in firmware.

Adds Sebastian's 160Mhz support (un-tested), remove DMA32 change that
broke some x86 systems, allow setting 10.1 CT firmware keepalive watchdog
timeout, support QCA 9887 hardware, and some other tweaks.

This uses GFP_DMA32 for firmware swap. Fixes issue on x86-64 with
QCA 9984 chipset when host system does not have vt-d enabled.
Also tested on linksys ea8500 with 9980 chipset.

ath10k-ct driver was using bad defaults for 9980 if user
had not specified a fwcfg file to over-ride them.
Also, support configurable station-kickout-threshold,
which might work around issues with flakey connections.

This lets one use the CT ath10k driver instead of the built-in
ath10k driver from the upstream kernel (or backports).
This should be a drop-in replacement, as well as enabling
better CT firmware support.
