Have you looked if this would close any open feature requests / issues
in OpenWrt trac?

Does this really depend on the kernel version and not on the iwl driver
version? OpenWrt uses the driver from a very recent wireless tree, so it
should be equivalent to something between 4.2 and 4.3 now.

I would suggest just using the most recent firmware files for the Intel
wifi devices.
