The first patch fixes the firmware update which is currently broken and results in a bad flash (corrupt firmware). Recovery is possible with a fixed driver. The second patch reverts a commit that causes the firmware checksum verification to fail right after a successful flash. This is related to a recent workqueue change. Haven't gotten to the bottom of this yet, but for the sake of a smooth firmware update experience let's revert the commit for now.
