Some local patches have been sent to upstream and they are slightly
different from the upstream version. So it's better to replace them
to avoid conflicts with the new mac80211 backport driver. The
different parts have been merged into patch 996.
This commit also includes some additional fixes:
* Fix watchdog function.
* Improve MT7620 register initialization.
* Introduce DMA busy watchdog for rt2800.
P.S.
Sometimes rt2800 series chips may fall into a DMA busy state. The
tx queues become very slow and the client cannot connect to the AP.
Usually, We can see a lot of hostapd warnings at this point:
'hostapd: IEEE 802.11: did not acknowledge authentication response'
The DMA busy watchdog can help the driver automatically recover
from this abnormal state. By the way, setting higer 'cell_density'
and disabling 'disassoc_low_ack' can significantly reduce the
probability of the DMA busy.

The removed patches were applied upstream.
This backports version 5.11.22 and later does not support kernel
versions < 4.4, this allows us to remove some patches too.

This updates the mac80211 backport.
The removed patches are already integrated in the upstream version.

This updates mac80211 to backports based on kernel 4.19-rc4.
I plan to integrate all the patches which are in this tar into upstream
backports soon.
I used the backports generated from this code:
