Hmm, well it still applies for me, but it does require a 3-way merge...
and I guess I have local history (because the 3 previous patches *used*
to be together...):

$ pwclient git-am -p linux-wireless 9618309
Applying patch #9618309 using u'git am'
Description: [4/4] mwifiex: pcie: de-duplicate buffer allocation code
Applying: mwifiex: pcie: de-duplicate buffer allocation code
Using index info to reconstruct a base tree...
M drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c
Falling back to patching base and 3-way merge...
Auto-merging drivers/net/wireless/marvell/mwifiex/pcie.c

Anyway, I'll resend.
