1) Please no attachments (best to use git format-patch and git
send-email).
2) Your patch blindly copies the ar3k files regardless of whether
they're actually used or not. The script is used by multiple/different
kernels (pc, pi, intel-iotg). Hm, the kernel doesn't reference the ar3k files
(I tried to fix that upstream but it was rejected) so you need to copy the
ar3k files based on the presence of the ath3k module.
3) Please add an LP bug reference to the comment in the patch.
