[PATCH] UBUNTU: SAUCE: ath10k: fix the wifi speed issue for kill 1535

[AceLan Kao]

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692836

The fix is suggested by Qualcomm, and it helps to fix the network speed
issue.
Ath10k driver changed a lot after 4.4 kernel, so this fix can't
applied on other kernels than 4.4. We need to figure out other way for
kernels after Xenial.

Without the patch, the 5GHz network speed is pretty low
