AQL does its job as expected and tests show very significant reduction in latency in congested environment. The txq stuck issue in patchset v4 got fixed. However, the device's total pending airtime count still underflows sometimes. Even though it doesn't cause apparent side effect, there is some issue with the pending airtime update and needs further debugging.
