[PATCH v4] ath10k: enable raw encap mode and software crypto engine.
From: David Liu This patch enables raw Rx/Tx encap mode to support software based crypto engine. This patch introduces a new module param 'cryptmode'. cryptmode: 0: Use hardware crypto engine globally with native Wi-Fi mode TX/RX encapsulation to the firmware. This is the default mode. 1: Use sofware crypto engine globally with raw mode TX/RX encapsulation to the firmware. Known limitation: A-MSDU must be disabled for RAW Tx encap mode to perform well when heavy traffic is applied.
