The upstream was rearranged in such a way that reverses the relation
between subdrivers and interfaces. It will probably break your
packages. Maybe we should back port the upstream changes (and fixes),
similar to what I did in
https://github.com/luizluca/openwrt/commit/d145c6845d7cdd2d49722a85988f16b17014dfa4
(it needs to be updated and rebased). I might have time to rebase that
branch soon.
