[PATCH 0/1][SRU][B/D/E] Fix Intel 3168 WiFi card regression

[Sultan Alsawaf]

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1868442

A recent upstream commit, "iwlwifi: mvm: fix NVM check for 3168 devices", broke
3168 WiFi cards completely. This commit is present in B/D/E, so all of those
kernels are affected by this issue.

The fix, "iwlwifi: mvm: Do not require PHY_SKU NVM section for 3168 devices",
recently landed upstream in Linus' tree and affected linux-stable trees.

Although I haven't checked with our reporter to see if this patch fixes their
issue, their provided dmesg errors match exactly what was reported to other
Linux distributions (such as Fedora [1] and Gentoo [2]), and those distributions
reported that this commit fixed the issue. It also matches what was reported to
the Linux kernel's bug tracker [3].

The regression potential is low since this patch is small and is confirmed to
fix 3168 WiFi cards.
