if you are getting a pure codel result of 160ms, that means the

description twice), the baseline result today of 160ms of queuing was
with a fq_codel *qdisc* doing the work on top of huge buffers,

Yes. The 160ms is with fq_codel qdisc with ath10k doing DQL at 6mbps.
Without DQL ath10k would clog up all tx slots (1424 of them) with
frames. At 6mbps you typically want/need a handful (5-10) of frames to
be queued.

Have you actually verified you can use all tx slots?  The way the
firmware uses it's tx buffers I think you may not be able to actually
do that...and in practice, you will get a lot fewer usable tx-buffers
than configured....

THanks,
