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.

The build system already defines KERNEL_CROSS which defaults to TARGET_CROSS.
Make use of this variable for kernel makefiles.

Now that we have working module dependency generation, we can switch to
AutoProbe and let modprobe handle loading required modules.

This backports a patch from kernel 4.14 to the ath10k-ct version based
on kernel 4.13.
Some devices are using a user space script to load the calibration data
from the flash and this was not trigged any more.

This should help ath10k work on systems with little or no IOMMU
memory. apu2 can boot two 9888 NICs now, for instance. From
upstream patch by Adrian Chadd.
And, start building the 4.13 based CT ath10k driver.

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

Adds Sebastian's 160Mhz support (un-tested), remove DMA32 change that
broke some x86 systems, allow setting 10.1 CT firmware keepalive watchdog

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.
