I'll point out that there is a lot of work being done on these drivers right now
in terms of making significant changes to how they do buffering that in
increasing network speed as well as reducing latency

Subject: [LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] Support Candela-Tech ath10k and ath9k
out-of-tree
driver.
From: Ben Greear <gree...@candelatech.com>
This lets one use the ath9k and ath10k driver instead of the built-in
ath10k/ath9k driver from the upstream kernel (or backports).
For ath10k, this should be a drop-in replacement, as well as enabling
better CT firmware support.
For ath9k, this enables some 5Mhz channel and 4.9Ghz support,
but may loose some existing patches that LEDE carries for ath9k.
