Hello,

A bug[0] was reported against Ubuntu that reports a kernel panic when 
using the hotkey to disable then re-enable wifi on a Dell XPS 14z.  A 
kernel bisect was performed, which indicated the following commit as the 
source of the regression:

A test kernel was created with this commit reverted, which stopped the 
kernel panic from occurring.

A bugzilla bug[1] has been opened.

Thanks,
