There is a patch added here to ath10k to bypass some checks on startup. I
believe this is related to the calibration data being provided in external
files (dumped from the ART mtd partition at init time) rather than directly
from the pcie board. The patch and related discussion is from here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2015-November/006489.html. But am
following up further on the ath10k list, since it may also be related to the
board bin files in ath10k-firmware. (follow-up thread here:
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2015-December/006613.html)
