So this also includes patches which I had queued for
wireless-drivers-next:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9986253/
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9986245/

And looking at patchwork[1] I have even more timer_setup() related
patches from you. It would be really helpful if you could clearly
document to which tree you want the patches to be applied. I don't care
if it's net-next or wireless-drivers-next as long as it's not the both
(meaning that both Dave and me apply the same patch, which would be
bad). The thing is that I really do not have time to figure out for
every patch via which tree it's supposed to go.

For now I'll just drop all your timer_setup() related patches from my
queue and I'll assume Dave will take those. Ok?
