FYI, this upstream commit has unbalanced locking. I've submitted a
followup here:

[PATCH] mwifiex: fix unbalanced locking in mwifiex_process_country_ie()
https://lkml.kernel.org/linux-wireless/20200106224212.189763-1-briannorris@xxxxxxxxxxxx/T/#u
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/11320227/

I'd recommend holding off until that gets landed somewhere. (Same for
the AUTOSEL patches sent to other kernel branches.)

I'll drop it for now, just ping us when the fix is in and we'll get both
patches queued back up.
