We need to provide a solution for Xenial v4.4 kernel for our OEM projects, but 
since the kernel is too far behind, we will take another approach to provide 
the driver update instead of patching the kernel.
Besides v4.4, we also use 16.04.4 in our projects, so we will need to update 
linux-firmware and wireless-regdb on Xenial. For the kernel we will fix in 
linux-oem 4.13.
