Interesting to know this issue isn't present in 4.7 - I also
encountered it in 4.4 with LEDE.

They aren't really proprietary, they are proper patches that were
submitted as RFC once, so it shouldn't be much effort to port them to
e.g. 4.7. Anyways ...

the issue seems to be that MSI interrupts do not work on 4.4 (at least
with ath10k, didn't have any other drivers that support it to test).
Your options are either to disable support for them in the kernel
config, or pass irq_mode=1 to ath10k_pci on probe to force legacy
interrupts; it should work then properly.
