Pull request overview
Adds kernel/build-time adjustments for Banana Pi OpenWRT to address missing WiFi 7 associated client stats (larger get-station buffer) and to constrain BE/MLO-related config for kernel 5.4 via a kernel-specific interface map.
Changes:
- Add a kernel 5.4–specific
InterfaceMap.jsonvariant for Banana Pi. - Apply an additional kernel patch (
0002-get-station-increase-buffer-size.patch) in the kernel 6.6 OpenWRT setup flow. - Install-time override to use the kernel 5.4 interface map as
InterfaceMap.json.

| File | Description |
|---|---|
| config/openwrt/banana-pi/InterfaceMap_kernel_5.4.json | New kernel-5.4-specific interface mapping JSON to be deployed as InterfaceMap.json. |
| build/openwrt/setup_MP4_2.sh | Applies the new kernel patch for increased station buffer size in the 6.6 setup script. |
| build/openwrt/Makefile_package | Copies the kernel-5.4 interface map into place as InterfaceMap.json during package install. |

Reason for change: Added kernel patch to increase get station buffer size. Default 4K page size cannot accommodate STA info with multiple links. Also made change to make BE mode only for 5GHz private VAP for kernel 5.4 due to the limitations. Test Procedure: Ensure WiFi 7 Assoc Client stats are received for each client connection change. Ensure BE mode enabled only 5GHz private VAP for kernel 5.4 build. Risks: Medium Priority: P1 Signed-off-by: Rakhil P E <rakhilpe001@gmail.com>
