Hi Simon,

Thank for looking into this. I believe these patches provide fixes and 
would fit better with iwl-net since they correct improper value 
checking, ensuring that the driver can properly handle and reject 
invalid inputs from potentially malicious VFs.
I sent v2 with rephrased cover letter and some commit messages.

Thanks.
Martyna
