[PATCH 1/2] mac80211: allow setting queue_len for drivers not using wake_tx_queue

[John Crispin]

Currently a mac80211 driver can only set the txq_limit when using
wake_tx_queue. Not all drivers use wake_tx_queue. This patch adds a new
element to wiphy allowing a driver to set a custom tx_queue_len and the
code that will apply it in case it is set. The current default is
1000 which is too low for ath11k when doing HE rates.

[PATCH 2/2] ath11k: set queue_len to 4096

[John Crispin]

The driver currently does not use wake_txq_queue. This leads to the
tx_queue_len being defaulted to 1000. Setting this parameter will
change the queue_len to 4096 which is more fitting for HE.

Fine, but we should really fix ath11k to do something smarter than a
fixed queue len... 4096 packets is 6 seconds of queueing at 8Mbps :/
