I'm using `luci-ssl-openssl`, which uses `uhttpd` and `libustream-openssl`.  
It uses ChaCha20-Poly1305 by default, but my CPU supports AES instructions.

How to set the cipher list used by `uhttpd`?

Answering myself: It's [hard coded in libustream](https://github.com/openwrt/ustream-ssl/blob/99bd3d2b167ccdffb6de072d02c380cb37b23e33/ustream-openssl.c#L45) and requires patching.
