Hi John,
with latest wireless-testing[1] I noticed that I cannot start AP mode
anymore with ath10k:
nl80211: Subscribe to mgmt frames with AP handle 0x9e5b410
nl80211: Register frame type=0xb0 nl_handle=0x9e5b410 match=
nl80211: Register frame command failed (type=176): ret=-95 (Operation not
supported)
nl80211: Register frame match - hexdump(len=0): [NULL]
nl80211: Could not configure driver mode
With help of Johannes we find out that there are odd changes in
wireless-testing[2]. Reverting the change in cfg.c fixed my regression,
but I don't know really know what has happened.

[1] To be exact I was using ath.git master branch but that's just
wireless-testing plus latest ath patches so should affect here.
