I know. There's a bug in that commit.

I'm not sure what makes you think that it even _should_ be reverted.
Just to make that clear: it should _not_ be reverted. How did you check
that it isn't reverted in compat-wireless anyway? Must have been by code
inspection since if you had made an attempt to verify that the code in
there works, you would have found that indeed there's no reason to
revert this commit since the fix for it went in, and is literally a
single line.
