2) Getting DMI / UEFI / OF data
3) Possible memory corruption in firmware loading code

1) Using fwctx variable after brcmf_fw_request_done() was executed meant
accessing freed memory.
2) Using fwctx->completion for the wait_for_completion_timeout() call
could reuslt in NULL pointer dereference on fw loading error or if
brcmf_fw_request_done() was executed quickly enough.

Based on the process of discovery in
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/1613, it has become clear
that (at least) the PowerCloud System CR5000 was unable to get
working 5GHz wireless (PCIe) because AH_USE_EEPROM was unconditionally
masked out, not only when qca,noeeprom was in the DTS.
This patch moves mask AH_USE_EEPROM into the if ... qca,noeeprom
OF test.
Thanks to Christian Lampartar (@chunkeey) for the heavy lifting and help.
Patch has been prepared for upstream and will be submitted after review
by @chunkeey and @xdarklight.

This updates the backports package used in mac80211 to version 4.19.7-1
which is based on kernel 4.19.7. This integrates all the stable fixes
introduces in this kernel version.
The deleted patches are not needed any more because they are either
included in the upstream Linux kernel 4.19.7 or in backports 4.19.7-1.

This partitialy reverts commit ccab68f2d3.
Registering the GPIO chip without a parent device completely breaks the
ath9k GPIOs for device tree targets.
As long as boards using the devicetree don't have the gpio-controller
property set for the ath9k node, the unloading of the driver works as
expected.
Register the GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent only for OF
targets to find a trade-off between the needs of driver developers and
the broken LEDs and buttons seen by users.

An upstream change broke brcmfmac when loaded with modparam roamoff=1.
As we are carrying a patch that enables roamoff by default on the
brcm2708 target to improve stability, wireless is currently broken
there. Add a patch to fix brcmfmac with roamoff=1.

Currently, dynack was only tested upstream using AP/STA mode.
Testing it on IBSS, showed that late-ack detection was broken.
This is caused due to dynack using Association Request/Response
frames for late-ack detection, which IBSS does not use.
Also allowing Authentication frames here solves this.
A second issue also got fixed, which was also seen AP/STA mode:
When a station was added, the estimated value would be exponentially averaged
using 0 as a starting point.
This means that on larger distances, the ack timeout was still not high
enough before synchronizing would run out of late-ack's for estimation.
Fix this by using the initial estimated value as a baseline
and only start averaging in the following estimation rounds.
Test setup:
- 2x identical devices: RB912UAG-5HPnD + 19dB sector
- IBSS
- 2x2 802.11an (ar9340), HT20, long GI
- RSSI's -70 / -71
- Real distance: 23910 meter
Results (60s iperf runs):
Fixed coverage class 54 (up to 24300m):
* 21.5 Mbits/sec
Dynack:
* 28.9 Mbits/sec

This is an official release with some minor changes compared to the
unofficial 4.19-rc4-1 we used before.
* added bcma and ssb again, which is removed in OpenWrt
* fix to build with kernel 4.19
* other minor fixes not relevant for Openwrt.

Add RXIQ calibration found in mtk driver. With old openwrt builds this gets us ~8Mbps more of RX bandwidth (test with iPA/eLNA layout).
Please try if this makes any difference among various board/RF layouts.

Registering a GPIO chip with the ath9k device as parent prevents unload,
because the gpiochip core increases the module use count.
Unfortunately, the only way to avoid this at the moment seems to be to
register the GPIO chip without a parent device
