Not sure if it's possible. You do need this to be at least as big as a
single A-MPDU can get. In extreme 11ac cases it can be pretty big.

I recall a discussion from a long time ago and the tcp limit output
logic was/is coupled with the assumption that tx-completions always
come max 1ms after tx submission. This is rather tricky to *guarantee*
on wifi, especially with firmware blobs, big aggregates, lots of
stations and retries.
