OK, this is great, thanks for working together on this.

Pali - if I merge Alex's dell-wireless driver, does it BREAK your systems, or
does it just not fully support them? If it BREAKS them, I'll drop Alex's patch
from for-next and from the 3.19 pull requeust. If it just doesn't fully support
them, I'll leave his patch in for-next and look forward to a set of patches from
you both that completes support for the 3.20 merge window.

Please let me know as soon as you can.

If I don't hear back, I'll have to err on the side of caution and drop
dell-wireless from for-next for this window.
