[PATCH v2 00/21] ath10k patches, generic and CT firmware related.

From: Ben Greear <greearb@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

These are against wireless-testing from a few days ago.

Here are a bunch of ath10k patches.  First one is a crash
fix.  Next few are at least somewhat useful for generic
firmware, and more useful for CT firmware.  Much of it is related
to better debugging of firmware crashes.  If this can go in, then
I can much better handle random bug reports from prople using
stock kernels and CT firmware.  With some small tweaks to how they
package firmware, QCA could benefit as well.

The last bit is some initial support for CT firmware.  I figure it
is a long-shot, but it would surely be nice to get this (and more!)
upstream.  If nothing else, these can be a basis for potential
inclusion in openwrt or similar.

These patches are not overly dependent on each other for the most
part, so even if a few are not acceptable, maybe others can be
applied upstream.

Changes from v1:

Replace debug-mask patch to be one that allows changing mask using
debugfs.
Add some comments to the CT firmware placeholder patch as requested.
Add and tweak comments related to cycle counters.
