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
