Apologies Josh, I have been using my own repack of the Boundary Devices
repo and had completely forgotten Kalle’s repo existed and was the
original source of the file.

SDIO support is a relatively recent addition to the ath10k driver and
the commit message in this RFT [1] probably explains why his repo has
it described as untested.

I’m happy to submit v2 with corrected references or let Kalle handle
the submission, whichever is best or easiest is fine with me.
