Ah, thanks for explaining that. I added this to the commit log (I hate
empty commit logs anyway):

    ath10k: Get rid of superfluous call to pci_disable_msi()
    
    The documentation states that pci_enable_msi_block() returns the number of
    requests 'could have been allocated', not 'could allocate'. IOW, MSIs are *not*
    enabled if a positive value returned.

Is it ok for me to take these patches to my ath.git tree or would you
prefer to route them some other way?
