I updated ath10k-ct (commit-id:  be5c21a82b15d28991500a28f7b2b6840356281f)

I fixed part of the issue with 4.20 not compiling in openwrt, but the other part appears to be
a backports issue, and I did not attempt to get that working.

I tested my 4.19 kernel and it had a WARN_ON about a chan-def, but I don't think that
is what you reported earlier...maybe it is worth trying 4.19 on the commit
above.

IBSS is flakey in that it seems sometimes I get one-way communication,
but I do not see excessive SWBA log spam.  It runs fast when it works.

I used 'open' auth, possibly things are worse with encryption.

I have some tx-path debugging I can enable to try to understand the one-way
communication issues, but I don't have time to deal with it right now.

 From my IRC comments:

  I tested 9880 IBSS on my 4.20 kernel, first time I associated, I got one way traffic, but after resetting a node, I see bi-dir traffic around 170Mbps one 
direction, 317Mbps the other (UDP)
<greearb_> I  see a few SWBA messages, but not many
<greearb_> SWBA appears to happen when WMI communication is being slow...  You might could enable HTC credit logging and/or WMI logging to better understand why 
that is happening (credits slow to be returned, very large number of on-going WMI messages, etc)

Thanks,
Ben
