Hi, I'm recommending to revert this commit at least in the 17.01 stable branch, since there have been reports on the forum about ath10k driver crashes [1][2]. While I have not been able to reproduce the exact described behaviour of the driver crashing at an early stage or in short time, I did in fact experience a crash of the driver after about 3 weeks uptime.
I then went on to test the latest build firmware-5.bin_10.2.4-1.0-00029 from kvalo's firmware repository and after 2 weeks it crashed again. I suspect my issue is different from the ones reported (I saved a crash log but can't find it right now, unfortunately). Nevertheless, I think it's safer to revert this commit at least on the 17.01 branch.
