A kernel cloned from 
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git and 
built with the latest RTL8723BS driver included (CONFIG_RTL8723BS=m) 
fails when booting on an Intel Atom device with the RTL8723BS wifi 
chipset due to an error in 
drivers/staging/rtl8723bs/os_dep/ioctl_cfg80211.c.

The kernel when booted with Ubuntu 17.04 results in an unusable system 
however with the following patch booting is successful and the system 
is usable. The patch and kernel builds have been tested against on an 
Intel Compute Stick (STCK1A32WFC model).

This version of the patch (version 4) has tabs rather than spaces, no 
wrap around and a changelog. The patch has received one review:

Patch looks good to me:
