This is to simplify maintenance. It's easy to say now which patches need
some extra work and/or sending upstream. Updating to newer backports
should be also simpler with this.

Revert upstream commit 1bd773c077de "wireless: set correct mandatory rate

neither or both have this patch. As this is a regression from released
versions, revert to the old code for now.

Backport patches that separate spectral scan support from general debugfs
support of ath9k/ath10k; this allows to remove the dependency on
KERNEL_RELAY from these driver packages even with debugfs enabled and
avoids the memory footprint of the relay buffers allocated by ath9k/ath10k
even when they aren't used at all.
The KERNEL_RELAY dependency is moved to a new config symbol that enables
spectral scan support in these drivers.

Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U

The backport of the hrtimer_start() functions needs the
linux/interrupt.h because some parts are defined there. Fix this by
moving the hrtimer_start() backport to the linux/interrupt.h backport
header file.

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.

dev_coredumpm() was added with kernel 4.7, but it is used by iwlwifi.
When the dev coredump framework form compat-wireless is used this is not
a problem because it already contains this, but this is deactivated if
the build system finds out that it is already included in the kernel we
compile against. This option was now activated by the bluetooth driver
btmrvl. Having dev coredump in the kernel adds about 400 bytes to the
lzma compressed kernel for brcm47xx.
This is copied from a more recent backports version to add the
dev_coredumpm() function when the internal core devdump is not used.
