Letting this patches get merged into the wireless tree and an other
patches which depends on this one into the mips tree will cause
problems, because the wireless tree only gets merged into the mips tree
indirectly round about the rc1 release in form of the rc1 release done
by Linus.

The patch to arch/mips/bcm47xx/nvram.c will depend on this one and you
should submit them to the same tree.
