Updated DHCP lease sorting to use the last update timestamp after releasing a DHCP lease.

Fixed an issue where, if the RevSSH server was unreachable, the tunnel status would take a long time to update to the correct state.

Broadcom

• Added support for collecting license information in logpulls for SDK 5.4.4+.

• Fixed a regression where the VIF could be configured with an incorrect chanspec (e.g., a weather channel requiring a long CAC), ensuring the correct channel is set for VIFs to prevent unnecessary delays and device reboots during health checks.
