Hmmm...  There's a guy maintaining a tweaked and optmized for the C7 build of LEDE.   He's got a long thread over on the LEDE Forums.

Might be a good way to get a wider group of testers running the patch,  and thereby get the mainstream dev's more comfortable about rolling it in?   I'd mention such over there, if that sounds like an idea...

Subject: [Make-wifi-fast] Upstream Ath10k FQ_Codel Patch?
Hi,

I have been using the patch from Toke's website which enables mac80211 soft queues for the ath10k on LEDE firmware for about 6 months now.

http://kau.toke.dk/git/lede/

It has been running really stable on both my Archer c7 v2 and v3.

I was wondering if there were any plans to upstream it to the LEDE project.

Noah

No concrete plans, no. I was hoping that the underlying issue would be
fixed upstream, but I'm not sure the original developer is working on
this anymore.

I can submit the patch to LEDE, but no idea if they will take it...
