Added for the upcoming 4.8, and to 4.7 should there be a need for a
respin.  But note that this scriptlet won't make the change around
ni_init_microcode that you made in your patchlet.  Is that needed too,
or will it work regardless?


On IRC, you also mentioned something about ath3k.  Could you please
supply more details?


Thanks,
