I did test it on wireless-next, apparently it has not synced with Linus' tree yet: $ git describe wireless-next/master v3.14-rc2-938-g67b3bd4 $ git log --oneline -n4 rtlwifi-wireless-next cb39071 staging/rtl8821ae: remove unused allow_all_destaddr function 607693e staging/rtl8821ae: avoid accessing RCR directly 7db8deb rtlwifi: remove unused allow_all_destaddr functions 67b3bd4 brcmfmac: fallback to mimo_bw_cap for older firmwares > As for the changes to staging/rtl8821ae (No. 2 & 3), once Linus starts the > merge that will precede the release of 3.15-rc2, the entire code for > rtl8821ae will be replaced.

I must be missing something, since I subscribed to linux-wireless this month, I have not seen discussions about a replacement for rtl8821ae.

Ok, I kept those in separate patches, but will send different series next time if it is preferred.
