If you feel adventurous, and want to apply some of my ath10k patches,
I have a way to dump some of the interesting registers in CT firmware,
including the rx-filter register.

Maybe I can figure out what needs to be twiddled w/out having to add
a monitor device.

I could also potentially add a vdev type or flag for mesh interface,
but that would definitely require driver hacks to enable the new
flag and it would not be compatible with other upstream firmware.

Thanks,
Ben
