How to integrate the latest ath10k driver into an older kernel release ?

[K.Mani]

i'd used 'compat-wireless-2016-10-08' from lede-dev, to run
qca9984(PCIe) on linux-3.10.20
https://sources.lede-project.org/

i remember facing issue in 'skb_get_hash_perturb' as the symbol is not
defined & build was failing, but mac80211 in lede-dev patches the
symbol definition.
You can make verbose build to find the exact cause of build fail.

I'd also applied few minor patch on my own to support my board.

Thanks
Mani
