0d9b0438b6 ath10k: add support for firmware newer than 636
The mgmt_rx event structure has been expanded.
Since the structure header is expanded the payload
(i.e. mgmt frame) is shifted by a few bytes. This
needs to be taken into account in order to support
both old and new firmware.

This introduces a fw_features to keep track of any
FW-related ABI/behaviour changes.

2e1dea4051 ath10k: implement get_survey()
This implements a limited subset of what can be
reported in the survey dump.

This can be used for assessing approximate channel
load, e.g. for automatic channel selection.

8865bee483 ath10k: detect the number of spatial streams supported by hw
Until now ath10k assumed 3 spatial streams.
However some devices support only 2 spatial
streams.

This patch improves performance on devices that
don't support 3 spatial streams.

affd321733 ath10k: implement device recovery
Restart the hardware if FW crashes.

If FW crashes during recovery we leave the
hardware in a "wedged" state to avoid recursive
recoveries.

When in "wedged" state userspace may bring
interfaces down (to issue stop()) and then bring
one interface (to issue start()) to reload
hardware manually.

5e3dd157d7 ath10k: mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac CQA98xx devices
Here's a new mac80211 driver for Qualcomm Atheros 802.11ac QCA98xx devices.
A major difference from ath9k is that there's now a firmware and
that's why we had to implement a new driver.

The wiki page for the driver is:

http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/ath10k

The driver has had many authors, they are listed here alphabetically:
