I'm trying to compile the ath10k driver for use with a USB QCA9377 
device.  I am using the ath10k ath10k-pending-sdio-usb branch.  The 
driver is not being loaded when the USB device enumerates, but I can 
manually modprobe it, but it isn't seeing my hardware.  I looked at 
trying to apply the patch for the QCA9377 USB device (above, from Erik 
Stromdahl), but it does not compile.

Is there an updated patch?  Do I still need this patch?  Or something else?
