Atheros QCA6174 (ath10k) not working

[Adrian Chadd]

Hi!

We know what's missing. :-)

bz is working on porting more configuration/startup related changes from
the more recent linux ath10k to athp, and I'm working on some transmit side
control that's needed for correct data path behaviour on the QCA6174 and
newer NICs.

We'll get there. :-)

Thanks!
