Great, thanks Greg! I now merged the immutable branch also to
wireless-next:

79649041edc8 Merge branch 'wfx-move-out-of-staging'
4a5fb1bbcdf1 wfx: get out from the staging area

So from now on wfx patches should be submitted for wireless-next via the
linux-wireless mailing list, instructions in the wiki link below.

Stephen, I want to warn you in advance about this driver move but
hopefully everything goes smoothly.
