[PATCH ath-next 0/6] wifi: ath10k: make USB support work for QCA9377

[Tomas Paukrt]

The ath10k USB support has been marked as experimental and incomplete
since it was added. This series makes it work for modules based on the
Atheros QCA9377-7 chipset like 8devices Blue Bean or SparkLAN
WUBQ-159ACN.

The main obstacle is that the firmware of a QCA9377 USB target can be
started only once. It does not accept BMI commands while running, and
the only way back to the boot loader is a cold reset, which makes the
target leave the bus and enumerate again as a new device. Patch 3 keeps
the firmware started during the registration running until the device
is unregistered and resets the target instead of restarting the
firmware in place.

Patches 1 and 2 fix a timeout during the installation of group keys and
WMI command failures during the driver unload. They do not depend on
the rest of the series.

Patches 4 and 5 add the hw_params and the USB device ID for QCA9377-7
and patch 6 removes the experimental status.

Tested on QCA9377 hw1.1 USB with the firmware version 0.0.0.111.
