Hi,

There are requests for some pretty big changes to get merged into 21.02:

Bring WireGuard in-tree for 21.02 #3960
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/3960
Adding 63482 lines, mostly backported kernel patches.

kernel: DSA roaming fix for Marvell mv88e6xxx
https://git.openwrt.org/920eaab1d8179035d0ae1047e75cf9a50da6a6eb
Adding 1180 lines of kernel patches

build: make sure asm gets built with -DPIC
https://git.openwrt.org/af22991e03cae55f96b06996df2ff16752cec5d5

iproute2: backport 5.11 update and improvements, related NLS fixes #4025
https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/4025
multiple patches for packages

Are there any objections to backporting these changes? If no one 
complains I will merge them into 21.02 in on Friday.
