It's true, I have not much time during the week to work on it. But
a few hours over the weekend are always possible.

That's ok. However I wouldn't like to step back from changes
simply to make backporting easier. It doesn't feel like things are
handled in the kernel.

It shouldn't surprise you that I'm in violent agreement.

I really liked the way it worked out between both of us. I think
the master branch worked pretty well and we hadn't a lot of
arguments about changes, which were put in there. So I wouldn't
mind if you would continue to handle the upstream also for d80211.
But for now I could agree to maintain the upstream branch. It
it works exactly well between the three of us, Michael could take
over that task also. 

Michael do you agree on a common upstream branch, which only
contains agreed patches?
