ath10k firmware checks nbytes == 0 as part of determining if DMA
has completed successfully. To help make this work more often,
have the driver initialize nbytes to zero when freeing the descriptor
slot.

This patch was in linux-wireless patchwork instance but not in ath10k instance,
which means that the patch was not delivered to ath10k list. I guesss mailing
list problems?
But anyway, I didn't see any comments. Is this still valid?
From my reading of the firmware, it appears the patch is a good idea.
It at least does not seem to make anything worse as it has not
been implicated in any problems in our testing and it has been in our kernel
since I posted the patch.
So, I think it should be applied.
Thanks,
Ben
