My bet is on one of the patches that are not backports but rather hacks/hotfixes carried only in OpenWrt. Even if it was just an upstream change that fixed it, its probably one of the hundreds that dont look even remotely related. Personally I dont have any of these devices and the switch is a rather rare model.
