    ====================
    For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
     * socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
       manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
       torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
       operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
     * minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
     * set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
       kernel, which was already available to userspace
     * don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
       room to add them
     * multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
       (since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
       magnitude)
     * add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
     * add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
       MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
     * many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board
