    Latest ath10k CT 988X firmware (beta-18).
    
      *  Backport much of the 10.2 firmware features from upstream QCA driver.
         This includes ANI support, adaptive CCA, tx-hang workarounds,
         and lots of other things.
         Not all of this may be enabled at this point, and more code waits to
         be backported as time and motivation allows.
    
      *  Fix some rate-control issues where ath10k in station mode (at least), would
         sometimes get stuck at low rates.  This appeared to be a probe related
         state machine issue in the firmware, so I added some timeout logic to kick
         the state machine if it gets stuck.  This signicantly improves throughput
         tests with many stations.
    
      *  Support configuring WMI WD timeout using SET_SPECIAL API.
    
      *  Properly configure the rx-mask on bootup to work around problem found
         by Mr. Kazior.  This should remove the need to add the driver hack he
         posted.
    
      *  Allow configuring pdev failed-retry threshold.  This is how many consecutive
         tx failures the firmware will allow before resetting the wifi chip (not a full
         firmware crash).
