Free Software replacement for ath10k chipsets' firmware

[Ben Greear]

I consider it virtually impossible.  Most folks that could help you are
under NDA, and regardless it would be a huge task.

Better to hope that someday QCA gets tired of fixing and refixing
(and ignoring) the bugs themselves and opens the firmware.

Thank,
Ben
