I recall we reached a conclusion to use the following multiline
comment style in ath10k:

/* Foo
 * Bar
 */

Ah, here it is: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-wireless/msg123419.html

But this isn't really important.

2 empty newlines.

I'm a little worried about this.

First of all the comment doesn't really explain why this is done, i.e.
utf.bin isn't FW IE encapsulated and as such fw_features are unknown.

And then what about utf binaries which use 10.2 WMI? Or non-10.x WMI?

You don't seem to be freeing firmware on failure here. I'm aware
ath10k_testmode_destroy() takes care of it but if you happen to use a
defect fw (or hit some kind of a fw-hw combination bug) each
subsequent utf start will re-use the firmware binary - it won't
re-read the binary (giving you a chance to replace utf binary with a
different one) unless you reload the whole module or re-bind the
device<->driver via sysfs or physically.

Shouldn't this be a negative number?

Also ath10k_tm_cmd_utf_stop() uses -ENETDOWN for this case.
