Hi Bjørn,

I just compiled main with all your latest commits, as of 18:55 UTC today.
My report is the same as I sent by mail for 13-stable, about a week ago.

Mar 24 15:27:02 susauq kernel: iwlwifi0: <iwlwifi> mem 0xef100000-0xef101fff at device 0.0 on pci2
Mar 24 15:27:18 susauq kernel: iwlwifi0: successfully loaded firmware image 'iwlwifi-8265-36.ucode'
Mar 24 15:27:18 susauq kernel: iwlwifi0: loaded firmware version 36.ca7b901d.0 8265-36.ucode op_mode iwlmvm
Mar 24 15:27:18 susauq kernel: iwlwifi0: Detected Intel(R) Dual Band Wireless AC 8265, REV=0x230
Mar 24 15:27:18 susauq kernel: iwlwifi0: base HW address: bc:a8:xx:xx:xx:ec, OTP minor version: 0x0

When it associates, it settles on:
	parent interface: iwlwifi0
	media: IEEE 802.11 Wireless Ethernet OFDM/36Mbps mode 11a

Max transmit speed (iperf3 test) is only about 4.70Mbps.
Max receive speed (iperf3 -R) is 22.5Mbps.

For comparison, using the iwm driver gets 22.5Mbps in both directions.

Other end is an ath0 device running in 11na mode.

Happy to test more.  And, thanks.
