How does it improve the handling?

For ath11k patches please CC ath11k and linux-wireless lists so that
patchwork sees it. So you need to resend this.

Is this a new API? I need to understand if there are any dependencies
between mhi and ath trees, or if I can apply this directly to my ath.git
tree.
