I don't think this matters. The issue at hand is that the driver still
relies on mac80211 buffering.

This *can* be solved, even in this piece of code I inserted here, but
it'd have to keep state about the queues and then insert some hooks
elsewhere. I'm pretty sure I can solve that, but don't have the time
(or even hardware) to test this (easily, I have ath10k in a few
routers, but ...).
