I recall a recent patch for ath10k sdio that disabled tx
acknowledgement for performance gains and am wondering if that will be
problematic? Presumably not since it would be caught at the dequeue,
but thought I'd ask-- wondering what the effect of failed tx's or
block acknowledgement is on this stuff I'll need to study the code
some more
