Please do removal of this ath11k_tm_event_wmi() in a separate patch,
then it's easier to read this patch.

Please also do the changes in ath11k_tm_cmd_get_version() in a separate
patch.

The documentation for for the STOP command is misleading, now ath11k
just ignores that command. So is there any point even to have the
command if it doesn't do anything?

I didn't investigate this in detail, but I find the flag a bit
problematic as it alters the behaviour ATH11K_FLAG_FTM_SEGMENTED and the
behaviour difference it's not documented at all in enum ath11k_tm_cmd.
