Will do. The patch only applied on top of net-next, so I assume that's
what you want me to test it on?

I looked through my logs and the 'fail to flush all tx fifo queues'
warning from iwlwifi appears very infrequent.  The last time before
today was March 18th...  Also accompanied by your warning.  That's the
only two times I've seen that one. And I've been running v3.8-rc7 (where
you introduced the warning) or newer since Feb 8th.

So don't hold your breath.  This may take a few weeks to trigger again.
