The former was a semi-urgent bug fix which was the reason for pushing it
out more quickly. The latter does indeed remove half of the fix (the
wrong count used in the for loop), but the first part to validate
n_akm_suites is still needed. As long as you kept that from the former,
the latter one should indeed be used. These commits should apply cleanly
on top of each other when applied, but I'm not sure how that ends up
being handled for linux-next.
