Hi Alex,
I've committed your patches.  The only modification I made was to remove
README.D* files from the local modifications removal.  These files don't
exist on the vendor branch, so they aren't locally modified.  Instead I
just applied a diff rather than deleting and reading them.

If you are feeling confident, feel free to tackle the WPA supplicant and
HostAPD updates! (They have to be done as a pair).

Thanks,
John
