I'm a little vague on the pieces missing as yet. I think?, still out
of tree are:
* Hooking up the ath9k to the intermediate queues code
* airtime fairness for the ath9k
* Ath10k has a partial revert for "some hardware" that disables the
intermediate queues code, but it's totally unclear "which hardware".
I'd hope that the "performance reasons" for this change have gone
away, and we could retest on the archer c7v2 and ubnt uap lite
platfporms.
* Ath10k got NAPI support, and I don't know what that means
* Codel "hack" for low rates
As for what's in lede.... ?
Aside from that, bunch O good thangs landed:

Hi Dave,
Last pull request before the merge window, since it's about to open :)
It seems that everyone finally agreed on the NAN (neighbor awareness
networking) APIs, so we have that, along with some other things.
Let me know if there's any problem.
Thanks,
johannes

mac80211: Move reorder-sensitive TX handlers to after TXQ dequeue
(2016-09-30 14:46:57 +0200)
----------------------------------------------------------------
This time around, we have
* Neighbor Awareness Networking (NAN) APIs
* a fix for a previous patch that caused memory corruption
in wireless extensions key settings
* beacon rate configuration for AP and mesh
* memory limits for mac80211's internal TXQs
* a (fairly involved) fix for the TXQ vs. crypto problems
* direct cfg80211 driver API for WEP keys
----------------------------------------------------------------
