(I initially posted this as a a question on @davidc502's custom builds thread on the now-defunct OpenWrt forums but I never got to find out if anyone had an answer as by then, the forums were offline!)
I have a load of devices connected by wifi to my WRT1900ACS (running on David's custom build) and they're all fine. My brother's iPhone also works fine with the wifi on the WRT1900ACS.
However, it floods the syslog with entries like this ad nauseum:

I'm at a loss for why this is happening. The iPhone itself works fine via wifi. No other device in the household is posing such issues on the syslog. And my brother's iPhone was fine on the previous LEDE device we were using.
It's not a show stopper by any means as the wifi still works perfectly on his iPhone but it is odd for just one device to be creating so much activity on the system log. Any thoughts?
