Thanks, applied with some cleanup and fixes. I also added a workaround
for the mac80211 TX status delivery issue so that this can be enabled
with the current kernel (i.e., anything that advertises the new driver
capability) without having to wait for the kernel side issues to be
resolved and some potentially special handling for the capability flag.
