That's good to hear!

What is your actual RX throughput? For me, it's usable up to 24Mb/s,
but the actual throughput is limited to 1.2Mb/s.

The patches are already in the tree, actually.

My next step will be calibration. :-)

(However, calibration specs are still not complete - there are 2 wlc_*
calls in PR41573. But that only matters for rev.0, and apparently all
4312s are rev.1.)
