Hello John W. Linville & list,

I wonder why on 2010-09-21 you reverted a bunch of patches by
Christian Lamparter, along with others:

git log d1222bce4344bdbfd1443c310c56a2fa7326ab85..8440f453633abac1503734fb3054b5686c5ac5ae^

I want to try the carl9170 driver, and so I've done a regex search for
carl9170 in wireless-testing/master, and cherry-picked them on top of
the current stable kernel (v2.6.35.7). When double checking I noticed
these reverts, which left me wondering whether that was an unnoticed
mistake and I should actually keep all of Christian Lamparter's
patches. The revert commits don't carry any explanation and I haven't
found it mentioned in the list archive.

(The patches applied cleanly, but I haven't built or tested the kernel
yet; to avoid forgetting to send this notice, I'm sending it away
already.)

Thanks
Christian.
