There are dependencies on changes in drivers/net/wireless/ath that have just been pulled into next-20141028 but not earlier. Given the dependencies, when would be a good time to submit changes to these dev_ declarations and uses? It's not urgent, it could wait until 3.19, but maybe sooner is better.
