I'm not really much of a fan of adding a feature without some use of
the feature. Perhaps if drivers "like" ath10k could use it, maybe you
should add a patch(s) to the series where one of those drivers
actually uses the feature.  An API without an example of use is also
harder to evaluate effectively.

I agree driver patch using the new NoAck infrastructure would help with
understanding, ill post it once it is ready. But not sure the driver patch
can be part of the same series.

The API patches would go in mac80211-next tree and indeed the driver patch would go through wireless-drivers-next tree. However, an option would be to add the driver patch(es) as RFC in the series so Johannes can ignore it and we still have an example to look at.

Regards,
Arend
