[PATCH 1/2] wifi: ath11k: implement custom wake_tx_queue with flow control

Hi Zhi-Jun,

Thank you for the review.

You're right — txq->ac % num_tx_rings doesn't match
get_ring_selector(skb) % num_tx_rings on all platforms.
In v1 the ring identification was only correct for platforms where the ring
selector happens to coincide with the AC, but not for platforms.

I will send a v2 trying to solve this globally for all the platforms.

Correct — management frames go through WMI, not the TCL data rings, so they
are not affected. The flow control applies to data frames, which are the
ones causing the problem since they use different TCL rings depending on the
platform's ring selector.

Best regards,
