This patch has been applied to the wpan-next tree and will be
part of the next pull request to net-next. Thanks!

I know you submitted this for wpan instead of wpan-next, but with rc8
being out I will not submit another pull request for 4.18. Instead I
added cc stable to the patch to make sure it gets picked into the stable
tree once 4.18 is out.
