Hi Greg,

  I feel this breaks since the above mentioned mac80211 commits are not 
available in this queue.

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git/diff/queue-4.4/series?id=8e2985dd801f00640be6998ec831018a688bb221

Could you please check after these commits are queued as well before 
this patch is applied.

Please let me know if i miss something here so i could check from my 
side as well.

Thanks,
