OK, so...never, _ever_ pull from wireless-testing into another tree.
The wireless-testing tree is a community sandbox, and sometimes gets
messy and sometimes gets rebased.

OTOH, those exact commits are already in wireless-next (and in
net-next).  That tree will not be rebased, so you can pull from it
if you so choose.  But, it would generally be better if you only pull
from head commits that are already in net-next "just in case". :-)

Let me know if I can be helpful...
