Subject: [PATCH 19/19] mesh: use deterministic channel on channel switch
This patch uses a deterministic channel on DFS channel switch
in mesh networks. Otherwise, when switching to a usable but not
available channel, no CSA can be sent and a random channel is choosen
without notification of other nodes. It is then quite likely, that
the mesh network gets disconnected.
Fix this by using a deterministic number, based on the sha256 hash
of the mesh ID, in order to use at least a different number in each
mesh network.
