What is the intermediate commits for in this case? Can't see any reason to enalgre git history.

It would be even easier for me if I squash them together, but I already had the case that someone found a bug and it helped to know where it broke. Hauke

Builds & works with on top of master tree + 5.10-rc6 kernel on mt7621 platform. And no more annoying warning when loading mac80211 module.

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.
