This pull request completely breaks Intel wireless for me.

This is my trusty old XPS 13 (9350), using Intel Wireless 8260 (rev 3a).

That remains a very standard Intel machine with absolutely zero odd
things going on.

The firmware is iwlwifi-8000C-28.ucode from
iwl7260-firmware-25.30.13.0-75.fc26.noarch, and the kernel reports

  iwlwifi 0000:3a:00.0: loaded firmware version 27.455470.0 op_mode iwlmvm

the thing starts acting badly with this:

  iwlwifi 0000:3a:00.0: FW Error notification: type 0x00000000 cmd_id 0x04

  iwlwifi 0000:3a:00.0: Failed to send MAC context (action:1): -5

and it doesn't get any better from there. The next error seems to be

  Timeout waiting for hardware access (CSR_GP_CNTRL 0x08000008)
  ------------[ cut here ]------------
  WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 1075 at
drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/pcie/trans.c:1874
iwl_trans_pcie_grab_nic_access+0xdf/0xf0 [iwlwifi]

and it will continue with those microcode failure errors and various
other warnigns about how nothing is working.

And no, nothing works.  A lot of log output, no actual network access..
