Yeah, commit 2f7cf3b61d85 should have been taken to wireless tree but it
fell through the cracks. I didn't realise that it's an important bugfix
and the commit message didn't give any indication of that either.

But commit 2f7cf3b61d85 is now in Linus' tree so it would be good if
someone could submit it to stable releases.
