Fixed the 2 patches
How would I go about adding dependencies, I'm trying to follow instructions on stackoverflow with similar problems and can't find a clue
This is for building kmod-qca-ssdk-nohnat for my WDR3600 and WNDR3700V4 Router. Building kmod-qca-ssdk-hnat runs into no issues btw

Package kmod-qca-ssdk-nohnat is missing dependencies for the following libraries:

The nf_conntrack.ko module is provided by kmod-nf-conntrack and ppp_generic.ko is provided by kmod-ppp.
Add DEPENDS := kmod-nf-conntrack kmod-ppp to your define KernelPackage and the dependency errors should disappear.
Fixed nohnat using jow's advice. Thanks
More importantly integration with LEDE is needed

Works ty!
This would be awesome!
EDIT: I had a quick test with kmod-qca-ssdk-nohnat and after a few minutes after boots the wireless AP would completely disappear, LEDs for both 2.4 and 5ghz remained on. Doing a power cycle recovers AP momentarily but disappears again. I didnt look too much into the logs but it might be because my setup is Client+AP. I'm going back to my old config for now and may do more testing later.
EDIT: Solved below
I'll attempt to remove the patches from your link and do further testing
EDIT: Solved below
Don't remove anything manually, use git revert with the commit hash to undo the commit.
Best practice is creating a local branch so next time you pull updates for master there are no conflicts:
$ git branch test
$ git checkout test
$ git revert $commit_hash
If you want to continue using the branch with updated sources, do:
$ git checkout master
$ git pull
$ git checkout test
$ git rebase master
Once things are fixed you can delete your local branch and resume building from master.
Thank you for the heads up, I actually removed patches #354-357 to test and the wireless went back to normal! To note, this also includes the kmod-qca-ssdk-nohnat which is awesome

Sorry, my advice was meant for just rolling back and continue building. If you want to help testing, obviously nbd's procedure is the way to go.
Oh no, your comment was perfectly fine, I just had no idea how to roll back initially and wanted to find a quick fix
Thank you, much appreciated
But LEDE is already no hwnat why would you still want no hwnat?
just for the sake of stability and performance comparison 
Yea I understand where you are coming from but even so I believe it is still using LEDE Default NAT
Oh hmmm, so the following log doesn't really tell me much? is there a way to check?

You misunderstood porting the 2 package over doesn't automatically enable NAT.
Rather you need to modify the switch registers to activate HW NaT
Previously there is no way because LEDE switch driver does not have the driver function but now you can with QCA SSDK
You can use ssdk_h shell to key in commands to configure the switch HWNAT.
Look at the PDFs in the repo
This is going to be the bulk of work getting it usable
My issue here is ssdk shell is poorly documented with very terse examples so I am still find out the commands you need to key into ssdk shell to activate a basic NAT
Ahhh I see, I'll definitely take a deeper look into it: Currently looking at these files for clues https://github.com/paul-chambers/netgear-r7800/search?utf8=✓&q=ssdk_sh&type=Code more specifically enet.sh
Are things still smooth on your end? I'm also experiencing mediocre WiFi, making the AP's rate go as low as ~6 Mbps. On WNDR3800 LEDE r3186.
