Re: [PATCH V2] ath10k: don't fail if IRAM write fails

[Axel Rasmussen <axel.rasmussen1@gmail.com>]

Sorry again for the slow response time.

I got around to testing this today on my hardware. I tested with a
vanilla 5.13.8 kernel, and then the same kernel with this patch
applied. Long story short, the patch does indeed seem to at least work
around the issue I was seeing in [1]. With this patch applied, I still
get the same "failed to copy target iram contents" error, but the
interface comes up and seems to be functional regardless.

So, for what it's worth (granted I am no wireless expert!), you can take:

Tested-by: Axel Rasmussen <axelrasmussen@google.com>

(This issue has nothing to do with my full time job, but I'm meant to
use my @google.com address for any open source contributions, which I
believe applies to commit messages too.)
