    mac80211: mwl: add patch to raise global limit of SSID up to 4
    
    SDIO chip 88W9997 from NXP [1] is quite limited by its firmware and
    driver. Add hacky patch to allow up to 4 SSID instead of 3 SSID.

+Subject: [PATCH] mwifiex: increase the global limit up to 4 SSID
+
+Firmware for SDIO (88W8997), which is used in Turris MOX SDIO addon [1],
+allows up to 4 SSID. Unfortunately, driver (even in mainline kernel)
+has a global limit for all Marvell cards up to 3 SSID.
+
+Pali Rohár tested this patch and verified that the SDIO Wi-Fi addon works
+with the 4 SSID. So, let's increase the global limit from 3 to 4.
+
+Ideally, this patch should be done differently before sending
+it to Linux kernel. It means that limit definition should be moved to
+the card-specific structure.
