Subject: Wireless regressions in v4.15-rc1

Hi,

just a heads up to everyone that there are multiple regressions in
v4.15-rc1. For starters hostapd (=AP mode) doesn't work because of:

net: netlink: Update attr validation to require exact length for some types
https://git.kernel.org/linus/28033ae4e0f5

Jouni fixed this already in hostapd but we also need a fix for kernel so
that old hostapd versions continue to work:

https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=a2426829ce426de82d2fa47071ca41ea81c43307

Jouni also found a similar problem with mesh:

https://w1.fi/cgit/hostap/commit/?id=963d3149abfcbab5b83f9023bc50321f777360d1

And Johannes already submitted a revert related to wpa_supplicant:

[net] Revert "net: core: maybe return -EEXIST in __dev_alloc_name" diffmboxseries
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/843863/

And with ath10k I'm now seeing this:
