Hi Dave,

I meant to send you a pull request last week but then somehow that
slipped through the cracks. However, I've since gotten a number of CSA
(channel switch) related fixes that I've also included - see below.

Let me know if there are any problems.

Thanks,
johannes

  mac80211: ignore CSA to same channel (2015-03-16 09:36:12 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
Here are a few fixes that I'd like to still get in:
 * disable U-APSD for better interoperability, from Michal Kazior
 * drop unencrypted frames in mesh forwarding, from Bob Copeland
 * treat non-QoS/WMM HT stations as non-HT, to fix confusion when
   they connect and then get QoS packets anyway due to HT
 * fix counting interfaces for combination checks, otherwise the
   interface combinations aren't properly enforced (from Andrei)
 * fix pure ECSA by reacting to the IE change
 * ignore erroneous (E)CSA to the current channel which sometimes
   happens due to AP/GO bugs
