Just notice that the idea behind this and the following patch is exactly
the same:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/?id=3f95e92c8a8516b745594049dfccc8c5f8895eea

I could resend this same patch with a different changelog text, but I
don't think such a thing is necessary. However, if people prefer that
approach, just let me know and I can do it.

Thanks
