I requested for kernel.org account but admins there have much more
troubles currently than adding new account :-/ 

I put patches here:
http://people.redhat.com/sgruszka/iwlegacy_cleanup.tar.bz2

They are on top of wireless-testing tree. You can apply them 
by something like that:

cd wireless-testing
for i in `ls -X ~/iwlegacy_cleanup/*.patch` ; do git am $i ; done

Series include your 2 patches. You can test this cleanup and
apply your new changes on top. I'll not do any further cleanup
for some time now, perhaps continue when I got public git tree.

Thanks
Stanislaw
