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. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
