Now I'm wondering if the missing latency performance will reappear...
;-)

Actually,  wanted to ask again exactly what kind of functionality the patch
enables.  I'd like to pass an accurate impression along to the custom C7
build group on LEDE Forum, which would get it a lot of test experience.
https://forum.lede-project.org/t/gcc-6-3-build-optimized-tp-link-archer-c7-v2-ac1750-lede-firmware/1382

Just by chance, the last official build was a day before Toke put up the
patch. There are nightly builds, which I assume would have it included now,
but I imagine the majority just use the official.
If I'm going to tell people about this, I want to be on target with what it
will do for them.

Well, it'll enable the bufferbloat mitigation patches for ath10k on the
C7. Which should hopefully result in lower latency while the WiFi is
saturated. However, I don't have any specific benchmarks to point to...
