Now I had a chance to monitor it, and in so doing, rediscovered this patch of
Chun-Yeow's:

http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2014-September/003206.html

In fact my broadcasts were truncated and the above change makes the broadcast
ARPs look correct over the air.  The (non-ath10k) target mesh STA replies with
broadcast PREQ but that is not received / processed / replied-to by the
ath10k device.

Perhaps there is a BSSID filter enabled or something like that (in mesh
there's no BSSID, just individual addresses on group addressed frames).
