As Amit already confirmed, this resolves the wifi and bluetooth
regression I was seeing with Android using 4.13-rc2.

Though I've not seen it show up in Linus' tree yet, so I wanted to
pester folks so it gets into 4.13-rc (its given me some slight grief
trying to bisect down a separate issue).

thanks
