Johannes Berg says:

====================
Here are a few fixes that I'd like to still get in:
 * disable U-APSD for better interoperability, from Michal Kazior
 * drop unencrypted frames in mesh forwarding, from Bob Copeland
 * treat non-QoS/WMM HT stations as non-HT, to fix confusion when
   they connect and then get QoS packets anyway due to HT
 * fix counting interfaces for combination checks, otherwise the
   interface combinations aren't properly enforced (from Andrei)
 * fix pure ECSA by reacting to the IE change
 * ignore erroneous (E)CSA to the current channel which sometimes
   happens due to AP/GO bugs
====================
