It would be really helpful if you could CLEARLY document in the patches
(or in the cover letter but then you need to cc all parties) to what
tree the patches are meant for. Otherwise I, and other maintainers as
well, need to waste time trying to guess what's your plan.

I will now drop the four wireless patches from my queue. So if you want
to me to take them please resubmit.
