Latest compat-drivers

[Eugene Krasnikov]

Hi Kalle,

I suggest to merge changes to wcn36xx to support latest mac80211.
While working on join implementation we can work in parallel on
updating documentation "How to build wcn36xx with latest wireless
stack". Could you please send pull request from initial-backports
branch?

P.S. I still was not been able to build wcn36xx according to your
instructions. But it's good that we have 2 different build
approaches:)  Also a bit wired that you did not need patch
https://github.com/KrasnikovEugene/wcn36xx/blob/master/local/0001-Check-if-DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA-is-defined.patch
Did you have any warnings about define DEFINE_DYNAMIC_DEBUG_METADATA?
