Can I confirm that the wireless.c -> wext-core.c change is intentional?
It doesn't seem strictly related to the patch description.

Commit 11433ee450eb ("[WEXT]: Move to net/wireless") rename  net/core/wireless.c to net/wireless/wext.c
then commit 3d23e349d807 ("wext: refactor") refactor wext.c to wext-core.c
The wext functions now sits in net/wireless/wext-core.c
This may need describe in patch description.
