[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH 3/3] ath10k: bypass otp check at initialization (needed for TP-Link Archer C2600)

[Josh Bendavid]

There is a patch added here to ath10k to bypass some checks on startup.  I believe this is related to the calibration data being provided in external files (dumped from the ART mtd partition at init time) rather than directly from the pcie board.  The patch and related discussion is from here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2015-November/006489.html.  This has also been discussed a bit further on the ath10k list here: http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2015-December/006613.html.
