The IPQ8064 from Qualcomm might become more FOSS-friendly over time,
Qualcomm seems to be going in the right direction, but right now it's
fairly closed down.
So no, I don't see this platform as a short term make-wifi-fast
development platform, at least not without getting Qualcomm onboard and
working closely with the project.
If I understand correctly, we have both the packet accelerator (closed
source) and the ATH10K wireless (closed source) to contend with.
