That was my plan when it would not get in for 3.7.0. I wanted it to go
to stable anyway as the fix is also needed for 3.6.x stable. Just wanted
to get it upstream fixed first.

For 3.8 the fix has been reworked on top of Seth patches and is in
wireless-next (c4dea35e brcmsmac: handle packet drop during transmit
correctly). Should I refer to that commit when submitting to stable
(although it is a slightly different patch).
