You mean the commit referred to in the Fixes: tag, right? That's not in
Linus' tree yet, it's a follow-up to a commit that was merged into the
wireless tree yesterday and marked for stable, so the two commits should
be added to stable together once they do hit Linus' tree.

I forgot to add the stable Cc when sending out the previous patch, so
Kalle added it when committing; so I guess you haven't seen that one? :)
