David S. Miller bb60b8b35a For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
    manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
    torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
    operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
  * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
  * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
    kernel, which was already available to userspace
  * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
    room to add them
  * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
    (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
    magnitude)
  * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
  * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
    MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
  * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board
