Thx a lot for the clarification, I tested your driver for a long time and now I'm
trying to post some of the patch on Openwrt upstream. 
There is no changelog as the changes is mainly the use of the api instead of
the for loop (for the busy wait) and some define rename.

Since you mainly write the driver I thought it wasn't good to take credits for it.
If you are find with it, I will add also mine.
