All dependencies have trickled down to ath.git but unfortunately doesn't apply anymore, so please rebase. Hopefully the last time :) While at it, could you also add to the commit log some info how awesome this patch is from user's point of view and how it helps. For example, before and and after numbers and other results. error: patch failed: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c:921 error: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath9k/xmit.c: patch does not apply stg import: Diff does not apply cleanly Patch set to Changes Requested. -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/9311037/ Documentation about submitting wireless patches and checking status from patchwork: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
