On what hardware and firmware version did you test this? As there's so
many different combos we use Tested-on tag to provide that information
in the commit message:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath11k/submittingpatches#tested-on_tag
I can add that if you let me know what you used.
