What about the FQ-CoDel mac80211 patches themselves? I have a tree where I've separated out the needed patches and rebased them on mainline 4.4.9. Can I post that somewhere (or just email you the series) and get you to include those as well? Or do I just dump the patch files into the LEDE patches dir and send that as a patch to LEDE? (I see your patch also refreshed subsequent patches; is there a script to do that automatically?) > I don't have time for testing it myself at the moment, but I'll try to > get some people to do so.
