ath11k vs ar_qrtr?

Hi Kalle,

I'm trying to install debian testing on my new Thinkpad T14s, which
comes with a Qualcomm QCNFA765 wifi adatper that seems to be supported
by the ath11k driver.

Probing the device fails with a "failed to initialize qmi handle: -517"
message, which as far as I can tell happens when qmi_sock_create
fails to create a AF_QIPCRTR socket with a status of -EAFNOSUPPORT,
which the confusingly gets turned into -EPROBE_DEFER by qmi_handle_init.

The debian installer kernel doesn't seem to come with af_qrtr at all,
which seems to be required by this call and unless I'm missing something
is required for support for at least this version of the ath11k
hardware.  Is there any reson to not have a module dependency so that
distributions will pick it up automatically?
