I pushed v4 (a squashed version of these patches which didn't make it to
the list for some reason) to the pending branch:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/commit/?h=pending&id=1feab03d9ecce61ec9a64a56fda7717e703135a9

I'm planning to apply this soon. So if anyone has concerns or comments
about this driver better to speak up now.
