Hi John,

Now backports-4.19-rc5-1.tar.xz was released, I added it here:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/hauke.git;a=commitdiff;h=da9c00dcc6401f55cebec2de272f3ab2bd492e1b

With that update I am fine with squashing the mac80211 updates and
pushing them to OpenWrt master.

I checked the removed patches and could not find these two patches in
the upstream kernel:
*
package/kernel/mac80211/patches/600-23-rt2x00-rt2800mmio-add-a-workaround-for-spurious-TX_F.patch
*
package/kernel/mac80211/patches/367-Revert-ath10k-disable-wake_tx_queue-for-older-device.patch

I assume it is not a problem that they got removed.

Hauke
