Hi,

I have submitted a version that fixes this issue to sourceforge (3.2.4.2)
I have also submitted a set of patches upstream, they can be found in 
intel-wired-...@lists.osuosl.org.
If all goes well they will be applied to branch dev-queue in:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/next-queue.git/

Please review the patch that deals with SYSTIM. For a description of the 
problem/fix

BR,
Yanir
