I forgot to mention that the upstream patch "9c969d8ccb1e mwifiex: check wait_event_interruptible return value" is also needed for 3.2-stable, and your backport patch [016/128] is correct.

The reason I put "3.6+" instead of "3.2+" for stable is that the upstream patch cannot apply cleanly against kernel versions older than 3.6. It must be back ported.

Thanks,
Bing
