While that's probably a good idea regardless, I'd think that patchwork
doesn't really matter that much - we'll have some catching up to do
anyway after the vacations, so looking through patchwork etc. would be
perfectly acceptable. Worst case we'd notice when a patch doesn't apply,
right? :)

Wrt. ath9k patches I guess "delegate in patchwork" won't work anymore,
but "resend to netdev" or something perhaps?
