Subject: 4.1.24-stable: iwlwifi patch applied to wrong file

Hi again,

in 4.1.24-stable commit fdfdfc7cdf (iwlwifi: pcie: lower the debug level
for RSA semaphore access) was applied to the wrong file. It patched
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c whereas it should have
patched drivers/net/wireless/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c instead.

drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c is a useless artifact
created by a faulty patch, which went into 4.1.18 (d9d42b679e36 iwlwifi:
pcie: properly configure the debug buffer size for 8000) I already
reported this a while ago ("4.1.18 introduced spurious copy of renamed
iwlwifi trans.c").

For 4.1.25 please delete drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c
and reapply the "lower the debug level" patch to the correct file.

Thanks,
Jens
