Hi,
Flashing both the trunk and the 17.01.4 versions of tl-wr940n-v4-squashfs-factory.bin to the device results in the following kernel panic:

I've also tried tl-wr940n-v4-squashfs-factory-eu.bin and even tl-wr940n-v4-squashfs-factory-us.bin but still get the same result.
Any clues how to go about getting LEDE running on this device? Does function names ath9k_hw_wait and ath9k_hw_setup_statusring provide any useful information to debug this issue?
Thanks.
