That is correct. 3.20-rc2 will be OK. I'll probably get a bunch of "your **** 
driver is spamming my logs, but I can ignore them".

These two fix real bugs and need to be in the kernel ASAP. Unfortunately, I saw 
you pass them off to DaveM and I deleted them from my "Submitted Patch" list. I 
can recreate them from my working copy of wireless-drivers, and I will resubmit. 
When I do, please process them as quickly as possible.

Thanks,
