I just did a diff between v4 and v5 and looking good at least to me. Do
others have more comments/concerns?

Now would be a very good time to submit a new driver as we are getting
close to the rc1 release. This way it gets plenty of testing time in
linux-next. So sooner you can submit v6 the better.

Please mention in the commit log also what modes (AP, managed, monitor
etc) are supported.

But PLEASE edit your quotes, the insane 8000 line quote makes my use of
patchwork[1] difficult:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9619075/

[1] And I do almost all of my maintainer work via patchwork so this
    habit of not editing quotes is a big hindrance for me. And
    unfortunately it's getting more popular :(
