To check if the patches are in the 2.6 release, I cloned the Git repo
and used `git describe --contains`. The patches helpfully include the
Git commit hash, so that commit can be passed to `git describe
--contains`.
So, for 'wpa-supplicant-CVE-2016-4477-pt4.patch':
$ git describe --contains 2a3f56502b52375c3bf113cf92adfa99bad6b488
hostap_2_6~513
So, we see that the commit is reachable from the 2.6 release tag, 513
commits in the past. I think it's a reasonable to assume that upstream
releases correspond to the Git tags.
I did that for all the patches. I don't think it's enough that the
patches don't apply; there could have been incompatible code changes
that prevent their application but did not fix the bugs.

Works for me, thanks!
