Honestly that looks quite compilicated compared to having just one sub-directory. How will ath10k find the directory names (or I vendor and model names) like 'Google' or 'blueline' in this example? -- https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/list/ https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/developers/documentation/submittingpatches
