I'm not convinced it's actually what's breaking "everyone's wifi";
specifically, this couldn't possibly be affecting iwlwifi; since it uses
nl80211 rather than wext -- the code changes are specific to wext. (And
also, because my wifi works just fine).

However, there is sufficient uncertainty with whether it actually fixes
anything (and enough reports of issues) that it might as well be
reverted.

There's a workaround though -- seems like the wl driver might support
nl80211 now, so switching it to use that framework might help a lot (or
make the driver behave much worse... will need careful testing).
