Hi Michal,

this is the dmesg output from a boot with kernel 4.1.2 with patch to
make the firmware load [1]

I saw the report you mentioned (I'm subscribed to ath10k and try to
keep it up with it). Not being expert at all I was not sure it was the
same or not. Also there seems to be a difference that with irq_mode=1
for me it just works like before.
