Do you mean this ath6kl patch:

https://github.com/AdamWill/baytrail-m/blob/master/kernel/support-Dell-OEM-chipset-found-in-Venue-8-Pro-SDIO-I.patch

That looks good to me, but please submit it officially as defined in the wiki:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath6kl#hacking_on_ath6kl

I also saw the comment about broken ath.git link, I fixed that now.
