I noticed that Dave set this patch to Awaiting Upstream state on his
patchwork:

https://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/759042/

Which makes me suspect that he is waiting me to apply this (as I
normally apply wlcore patches). Dave, should I actually take this patch?
What do you prefer?

There's a small change to arm directory but I don't see that as a
problem as Tony acked it:
