OK, i think it's not supported now
# iw phy phy0 interface add mp0 type mp mesh_id MeshNetwork
# ifconfig mp0 up
[  289.502405] ath10k_pci 0003:01:00.0: 10.4 wmi init: vdevs: 16  peers: 528  ti
d: 132
[  289.510058] ath10k_pci 0003:01:00.0: msdu-desc: 1424  skid: 32
[  289.604802] ath10k_pci 0003:01:00.0: must load driver with rawmode=1 to add m
esh interfaces
ifconfig: SIOCSIFFLAGS: Invalid argument

then, i tried insmod ath10k_core.ko with rawmode=1, i got probe fw
fail log as following
[  350.779002] ath10k_pci 0003:01:00.0: rawmode = 1 requires support from firmwa
