Yeah, ath11k PCI devices require QRTR and we have this in Kconfig:

config ATH11K_PCI
	tristate "Atheros ath11k PCI support"
	depends on ATH11K && PCI
	select MHI_BUS
	select QRTR
	select QRTR_MHI

Sorry, not following you here. Are you saying that "select QRTR" is not
enough and we should add something more?
