Is there any general interest in adding support for my CT
ath10k firmware?  My basic proposal would be something like:

* Port at least most of my ath10k related patches to whatever is
   the latest openwrt kernel.

* In particular, the patches I have to enable loading different firmware
   images and different firmware options on a per NIC basis.

* Package my firmware image(s) so they can be easily installed in openwrt.

* Configuration can be done manually and/or someone else could write the
   needed front-end if they cared.  I don't know a great deal about the specifics
   of openwrt, so I could use some help with making this easy to configure.

* This is probably 1-2 weeks worth of effort, and we would work cheap,
   especially if we could get a bit of assistance here and there.

Thanks,
Ben
