Right, I've managed to pick up 3 changes to mwifiex that it looks like I
shouldn't have included.  Firstly:

9c969d8ccb1e mwifiex: check wait_event_interruptible return value

This had "3.6+" to the left of <stable@...r.kernel.org>, whereas I
expect version qualifiers to be on the right.  So my import script just
put this in the queue without asking me to interpret the version
qualifier.  (I don't automate *that* because people use too wide a
variety of syntaxes.)

When trying to apply that, I found that it seemed to depend on these
two:

bbea3bc432dc mwifiex: wakeup and stop multiple tx queues in net_device
b7097eb75fa1 mwifiex: handle association failure case correctly

which also looked like they were important fixes.  Presumably I should
drop all of those?

Ben.
