Hi,

several comments below in addition to what Daniel stated.

As a general comment:
It would have been quicker if you asked the questions first, because now you will have to send another version ...

Please use versions on your patch (-v parameter to git format-patch) so we can track the changes more easily.

Yes, this is a copy-paste thing. It's just always kept slow unnecessarily, although it could be considerably faster on most devices.

If you insist on not using DT trigger, please at least convert this to the appropriate phy0tpt/phy0radio trigger in 01_leds. With the current setup, the LED is restricted to a specific name of the WiFi interface, which is an unnecessary drawback.

Does this make sense? Your wan port is 5, so not covered by this syntax...
