This is just a friendly reminder that this patch has been submitted,
for what looks like a fairly major regression in iwlwifi that impacts
(as far as I can tell) *all* 3168 devices. The regression is in the
v5.5.x series and was for a while back-ported to the stable trees, but
luckily was noticed before the releases were made.

There are at least a few bug reports for this regression:

https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=206329
https://bugs.gentoo.org/706810
https://lkml.org/lkml/2020/2/7/811
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=252603

The Gentoo maintainers have already applied this patch to their Linux
sources and marked their bug report "fixed". But it would be really
nice if we could get this regression fixed in the next stable v5.5.x
release.

Thanks for your attention!
