There is a DPDK driver for Atheros 10K NICs (the QCA986x/988x is Ath 10k). 

https://github.com/telematik-tu-ilmenau/DPDK-WiFi 
<https://github.com/telematik-tu-ilmenau/DPDK-WiFi>  (specifically 
/drivers/net/ath10k, written for DPDK 17.10)

I don’t know anything about the quality or performance of this driver.   VPP 
would also need to know how to configure and monitor this NIC.
Seems like a lot of work for minimal gains, so Dave’ suggestion of bridging 
into a tap-v2 interface is likely to provide more immediate results.

As for performance of same, anyone looking for > circa 600Mbps with wireless is 
smoking something interesting.  Pretty sure tap-v2 can pass that.
