DQA is Dynamic Queue Allocation. We have been working on this for
quite a while now (since v4.7) and have many patches mentioning that
are already merged. The first patch is this:
commit 24afba7690e4 ("iwlwifi: mvm: support bss dynamic alloc/dealloc
of queues")
Its commit message has some explanation and we also have a DOC section
in our driver that explains it in further details:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next.git/tree/drivers/net/wireless/intel/iwlwifi/mvm/sta.h#n82
Since we've been working on this for so long and already use the term
DQA broadly, we thought it wouldn't be necessary to explain more when
we are finally enabling it by default. But of course I can change that
if you prefer.
