Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: do not use coherent memory for allocated device
memory chunks
Coherent memory is more expensive to allocate (and constrained on some
architectures where it has to be pre-allocated). It is also completely
unnecessary, since the host has no reason to even access these allocated
memory spaces

Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: stop abusing GFP_DMA
Allocations from the DMA zone were originally added for legacy ISA
stuff, or PCI devices that have specific limitations in their DMA
addressing capabilities. It has no place in ath10k, which can do
full 32-bit DMA.
Fixes memory allocation errors on some platforms.
