[OpenWrt-Devel] ar71xx: How to integrate UniFi AP Outdoor Plus HSR?

this would move the hsr driver into the kernel image, wouldn't it? That's IMHO 
a maintenance nightmare as it would force us to flash a new image whenever we 
want to update or even debug the driver.

What about this solution:

-Add the possibility to register a channel change helper in ath9k.ko. As with 
your idea, this is only a very small patch that all ar71xx targets would 
have to carry.
-Make the hsr driver a channel change helper .ko
-Install the hsr kernel module only into the UniFi Outdoor Plus image.

Like in the attached RFC patch (that has be applied manually).
