Subject: ath10k: improve channel switching
X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=dc55e3074ca150d5820fd4be5d4afd6cb5e876ad;p=linux-beck.git

ath10k: improve channel switching

In some cases during heavy tx vdev stop-start
would timeout on vdev synchronization causing
traffic to stall for a few seconds.

Instead of stop-starting use a dedicated vdev
restart command and down vdevs explicitly before
doing so.

This gets rid of the synchronization
warnings/timeouts and makes channel switching
smoother during traffic.
