I can't help much, since QCA declined to give me a board. Did you try
regenerating the compat-wireless against the newer kernel? I never did
much on the wifi side, was alway doing everything else.

If you compare the ChromeOS tree I shared it's a backport to 3.18, so
some subset of patches in that list will backport to 4.4 pretty
easily.
