Yeah, we have plenty of time for 4.10 :) So my plan is to apply this
after I open wireless-drivers-next in 2-3 weeks or so. That would mean
that the patch would hit Linus' tree when 4.10-rc1 is released
(estimated to happen on 2017-01-01). The timing is actually perfect as
now we get maximal testing time on -next.
