I would suggest to proceed the following way:

 1. v8 of this series should have only 2 patches
   - PATCH v8 1/2 : add host mle station support.
   - PATCH v8 2/2 : add host mle AP support.

   Any kind of fix on these 2 new functionalities should be squashed in
   these single 2 patches. No commit to add a functionality with a bug
   that is fixed with a follow-up commit. If you discover bugs during
   your testing this is great, just amend the original commit that
   introduced it.

   I am assuming that is fair to implement station and AP support in
   separated patches, please speak up if this is not the case.

 2.  PATCH v7 06/12: this should be send as a new separate patch, with a
     Fixes: tag and Cc:stable.

It's ok to have a v8, restarting another series will be even more
confusing IMO.


Thanks!
