Gluon: Devices that don't support IBSS shouldn't be marked as BROKEN
Currently four targets (ralink/mediatek) are marked as broken with the remark:
BROKEN: No AP+IBSS support
This is not necessarily anything that will ever be resolved.
Since 802.11s is working quite well and seems to be the successor of IBSS those devices are hardly broken, but only useful if the site already uses 802.11s mesh networking. In turn these could be marked conditional with a flag like MESH_11s instead of BROKEN.

You could also add a tag 2.4GHZ_ONLY i.e. for the C25

I think a nice solution would be to change the GLUON_ATH10K_MESH variable to a generic GLUON_WLAN_MESH. It would default to 11s, skip building images for models that don't support the chosen mode (unless BROKEN is set), and select ath10k firmwares.

FYI: @2tata created a patch #1298 to fix this issue. maybe take a look at it to check if it works for you, too.
