A Linux patch which changed the kernel behavior of pci device naming
was backported to Linux 5.4, and is therefore included in OpenWrt
21.02.5.

However, the default uci configuration generated by OpenWrt scripts was
not updated to accomodate this change. Therefore, wifi interface
configuration does have various side effects on the wdr4900. Most of the
time, more than two wifi radio/interface configurations are generated,
which results in wifi not working properly (because our own
configuration layer relies on the default configuration done by OpenWrt.

Backport a patch from OpenWrt 22.03 / master, which works around this
problem but has not been applied to the 21.02 branch.
