I recognized some "improvements" to my wifi-connection on my Dell XPS 13 9360 DE after the last update of linux-header.

I takes 3 minutes after boot to connect to my wifi, and I could not reconnect to wifi after wakeup from sleep/suspend.
All worked before I updated linux-kernel-headers.
I got this error in dmesg:

The firmware-5.bin issue is not relevant, but I do not get those other errros before. Anyone got the same problems or got a solution for this?
Thanks
