Work in progress, I don't stop it. Just work is progressing slower
than I had planned. I am already cleanup the code (mostly checkpatch
errors and warnings) and send patches to OpenWRT tree. Further I plan
to simplify initialization and I will be ready to send patches
upstream.

I need a couple of weeks for this. Is its reasonable time to not make
a mess of remove/add commits?
