You mentioned in the discussion and I quote: "*If* wireless maintainers 
think otherwise, I'll send a revert request to Linus for

wireless maintainers nor from the author of the patch you are reverting. 
Seems like an overreaction to me though personally I do not disgree with 
the revert itself.

My understanding from the whole thread was that Emmanuel disagrees with 
the revert, and I consider Emmanuel to definitely belong to the "wireless 
maintainers" group. If my understanding was wrong on this, sorry for that.

One way or another, the revert really is a-must-have, as it causes visible 
userspace regressions. I am really surprised that it's causing so lively 
discussion and doubts.
