Merge tag 'wireless-drivers-next-for-davem-2017-01-02' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers-next

Kalle Valo says:

====================
wireless-drivers-next patches for 4.11

The most notable change here is the inclusion of airtime fairness
scheduling to ath9k. It prevents slow clients from hogging all the
airtime and unfairly slowing down faster clients.

Otherwise smaller changes and cleanup.

Major changes:

ath9k

* cleanup eeprom endian handling
* add airtime fairness scheduling

ath10k

* fix issues for new QCA9377 firmware version
* support dev_coredump() for firmware crash dump
* enable channel 169 on 5 GHz band
====================
