Fix this by limiting the probe responses when the specified
threshold limit is reached.

Is this useful when firmware supports management-tx over HTT (instead of WMI)?

Yes, it is applicable for HTT path. The mgmt frames through the HTT path use the tx descriptors in the firmware. This patch just prevents its overuse by probe response frames.
