I'll have to let you sort this out with John. I don't know if he is
planning to merge either of our patches for 3.5.

If he picks up your code before mine though, be prepared that I'll just
resend my code fixing up mwifiex in the most simple way and will not
really be worried about your unit testing/internal review. If you want
to help me out though you could make a small patch that adjusts your
code to the new API and send it to me/the list separately from your
submission.
