Well, Larry is the maintainer, so he will ultimately pick up patches.
One or two days should give people some time to read and reply.

My role as maintainer is a little different than others. As I have a private broadband connection with only 1 Mbps upload, it is not practical for me to operate a git server. I used to have an account at kernel.org, but I lost it after the break-in there. As I have never met face-to-face with another Linux developer, I have had no chance to have my credentials signed, so that resource is unavailable. As a result, I ACK or NACK patches and they are picked up by John Linville for drivers in the regular wireless tree, and Greg Kroah-Hartman for the staging drivers.

As for MSR_MASK, that macro does not exist yet, I was wondering whether
it's OK to add a new macro? (Larry?)

Yes, that is OK.

Sure, I can send a patch for all the files instead. However, earlier
received complaints when I sent patches extending over more than one
file.

These do really need to be split a little. There must be at least one patch for the wireless tree, and a second for staging. In fact, I prefer the way they are with one for each driver.
