The patch removes HTC endpoint tx workers in
favour of direct command submission. This makes a
lot more sense for data path.

mac80211 queues are effectively stopped/woken up
in a more timely fashion preventing build up of
frames. It's possible to push more traffic than
the device/system is able to handle and have no
hiccups or performance degradation with UDP
traffic.

WMI commands will now report errors properly and
possibly block as they actively can wait for tx
credits to become available.

This will allow higher layers to anticipate and
act upon TX credits renewal. This will be
important for some future rework of WMI command
submission.

It was possible to submit new HTC commands
after/while HTC stopped. This led to memory
corruption in some rare cases.

This reduces number of allocations and simplifies

Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.

The wiki page for the driver is:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
