    <p>commit 0b2c42ced2 (HEAD, refs/bisect/bad)<br>

      <br>

          mac80211: Update to version 5.2-rc7</p>

    <p>as the problem behind the failure to compile batman-adv on July

      21, 2019 and perhaps prior<br>

    </p>

    <p>See, for example

    <p>Same problem observed locally on ath79 and on ipq40xx</p>

    <p>Nothing obvious in the patch itself, but building at d616b2c906

      resolves the issue for both ipq40xx and ath79 builds</p>
