On v3.16.1 the warning is different and I get fewer. On v3.12.18 it works,
but the kernel has other issues there related to wireless so I don't use
it that often.

I could try to bisect the first appearance of any warning, but it would
require some time (this is my work laptop).

It is attached in the bug report at freedesktop now.
