Subject: ath10k: disable wake_tx_queue for older devices
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=4ca1807815aa6801aaced7fdefa9edacc2521767;p=linux-beck.git

ath10k: disable wake_tx_queue for older devices

Ideally wake_tx_queue should be used regardless as
it is a requirement for reducing bufferbloat and
implementing airtime fairness in the future.

However some setups (typically low-end platforms
hosting QCA988X) suffer performance regressions
with the current wake_tx_queue implementation.
Therefore disable it unless it is really
beneficial with current codebase (which is when
firmware supports smart pull-push tx scheduling).
