Until now ath10k used a copy-by-value beacon
submission.

The new method passes a DMA address via WMI
command only. This command contains additional
metadata that fixes AP behaviour with regard
to powersave buffering.

This also fixes strange bug when multicast traffic
would freeze TX indefinitely.

Same here, also so few conflicts. Please check:

I think we will run out of space in skb_cb soon and we will need to
start using bitflags. But this is ok for now.

Please document how this is protected.

I think this would be cleaner:

ath10k_wmi_beacon_send_ref_nowait(struct ath10k_vif *arvif,
 			      struct sk_buff *beacon)

Or maybe even without the beacon parameter? We get it from arvif anyway.

Comments before the field, please. Like here:

struct wmi_resource_config_10x {
	/* number of virtual devices (VAPs) to support */
	__le32 num_vdevs;

	/* number of peer nodes to support */
	__le32 num_peers;

	/* number of keys per peer */
	__le32 num_peer_keys;

	/* total number of TX/RX data TIDs */
	__le32 num_tids;
