Yes it looks like it was refactored as a result of f2f6ecabe, but
following the refactor here is where it would go in a newer kernel.

Can you please check if on 4.11 the problem exists and that still fixes it in 
4.11?  If so, it makes sense to me to try to submit upstream this fix.

Bug description:
  TX throughput is not good in Ubuntu in IEEE 802.11ac mode.

  Measured Rx 60Mbit/s and Tx 12Mbit/s with Ubuntu
  Windows 10 (1607) performs much better with on transmit side Rx 73MBit/s and 
Tx 62MBit/s using the same hardware setup.
  Same result with WPA2 disabled in unencrypted mode.

  1. connect to Wifi
  2. copy a large file from XPS 13 to a share on a 2nd system
