This is currently only the test version, I will release official
versions of backports in the next days and then update these patches.

Kernel 5.10 should be an LTS kernel so we will get updates for it the
next 5 years, I would prefer to use backports based on this version in
our next release.

Please test this and report error to me.

The changes are also in my stating tree:

Hi,

I haven't received a bug report so far, so this looks good or nobody tried this. ;-)

We deiced to not merge this into master before branching as the current version based on Linux 5.8 is pretty stable and got a lot of testing. We plan to merge this into master after branching, then it gets testing in master and we will backport this into a minor stable release later to be able to provide security updates for the wireless drivers.

The kernel 5.8 does not get any security updates any more and we do not have the manpower to maintain this on our own.

A more recent version of these patches is available here:
https://git.openwrt.org/?p=openwrt/staging/hauke.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/mac80211-5.10
This uses the official backports binaries, I will rebase and update this form time to time.

Hauke
