* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
* minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
* set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
kernel, which was already available to userspace
* don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
room to add them
* multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
(since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
magnitude)
* add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
* add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
* many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board

Johannes Berg says:
====================
For 4.11, we seem to have more than in the past few releases:
* socket owner support for connections, so when the wifi
manager (e.g. wpa_supplicant) is killed, connections are
torn down - wpa_supplicant is critical to managing certain
operations, and can opt in to this where applicable
* minstrel & minstrel_ht updates to be more efficient (time and space)
* set wifi_acked/wifi_acked_valid for skb->destructor use in the
kernel, which was already available to userspace
* don't indicate new mesh peers that might be used if there's no
room to add them
* multicast-to-unicast support in mac80211, for better medium usage
(since unicast frames can use *much* higher rates, by ~3 orders of
magnitude)
* add API to read channel (frequency) limitations from DT
* add infrastructure to allow randomizing public action frames for
MAC address privacy (still requires driver support)
* many cleanups and small improvements/fixes across the board
