To keep things simple for me I want that the patches are based on
wireless-drivers-next.git. iwlwifi is under so active development that
an extra tree is justified, but having a dedicated tree for a not so
active driver is just extra work for me which I do not want to have.

With rtlwifi it goes so that Larry acks the patches on the list and
patchwork automatically adds the ack to the commit log when I apply the
patch, which is easy and fast for everyone. The same should go with
rtl8723au.
