Hi Greg,

   This patch along with its dependency patches (in the following order)

f980ebc058c2 : mac80211: allow not sending MIC up from driver for HW 
crypto
f631a77ba920 : mac80211: allow same PN for AMSDU sub-frames
cef0acd4d7d4 : mac80211: Add RX flag to indicate ICV stripped
[PATCH 1/2 linux-stable-4.4] ath10k: Add new hw param to identify 
alignment for different chipsets

build fine when checked with v4.4.130.

Kindly let me know if you face any issues while trying out in this 
order.

Thanks,
Sriram.R
