I followed the instructions from comment #115 and my ath10k now works
perfectly on my MSI WS-60 laptop (running Gentoo).

Per Jose (comment #121) I had no problem compiling the nvidia driver
package or the bbswitch package against the kvalo/ath kernel fork. (the
closed source nvidia-drivers-349.16 with bbswitch-0.8).

Per David L in #118, I believe this bug is only for the Wi-Fi (ath10k)
driver/firmware. At least on my laptop, the Wi-fi/Bluetooth isn't
combined (on my MSI, it uses the ath3k bluetooth; same firmware issue we
have with the Wi-fi; do a search and you'll see similar mailing list
threads -- actually they may be combined; who knows they might be on the
same chip -- but anyway they have two different drivers/firmware).

I don't know what the licensing issues are with firmware. Can I fork
kvalo's ath-firmware repo on github and commit the ones created using
the above Python scripts? If so I'll try and do that tomorrow.

Some other notes: I only got this working as a kernel module; built-in
didn't work (wasn't sure how to pass in skip_otp=y via kernel args...
tried ath10k_core.skip_otp=y, ath10k.skip_otp=7; ath10k_pci.skip_otp=y
... but that was with the 4.0.0-gentoo sources and not the kvalo
fork...so there might be stuff in that fork that isn't in official yet?
Haven't tried built-in with kvalo's. I might do that later).
