I just went to the patches which might be interesting for me to get HE in a 
working state for ath11k mesh. And so I found following patches which seemed 
to be relevant for me:

* https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1109462/ (this patched; marked as
  "changes requested")
* https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1122057/ (marked superseded)

It looks to me that the mentioned patches can all be replaced by 
https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/1116968/ - is this assumption correct or am 
I missing something?

We talked about this on a call (were I had problems to understand you) and I 
was under the impression that you were talking about static inline functions 
in headers. So I have to retract my statement and agree with Jouni about this.

Kind regards,
