FYI: I quickly tried to extend the .max_interfaces +
interface_combinations limit in ath10k and check with 15 VAPs (using
hostapd, open network; on MIPS platform) and it just worked.. I did
not perform any exploratory testing, but managed to connect a couple
of clients to various bssids + run some sane iperf traffic etc.
