It seems each version you are sending is change on top of the previous 
version. Please send all the changes in a single patch so that it can be 
reviewed, and applied, standalone.

Also, Andrew had requested on the other patch that this go via *-next 
since the issue is a theoretical one. Can you target this to iwl-next?

Thanks,
Tony
