Thanks Dmitry.

There are a number of issues with your patch still, such as describing
the problem in too restricted ways (this problem is not specific to
nl80211 nor fixed there). The subject should also have a proper prefix
and you're not sending this patch to the right people.

If you prefer, I can take ownership of these patches.
