And also not keeping wireless-testing at the latest upstream release
is completely counter productive.
It's just going to result in more and more merge hassles for John
than is really reasonable to expect him to deal with just because
mac80211 has some bug that needs to be fixed.
And keep in mind that in this particular case, mac80211 has had this
bug forever, it's just that how the stack is organized now the bug
matters all the time instead of "sometimes."
