As per upstream in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1063038/comments/27 the device is rate limited in firmware intentionally. Hence, while it is technically possible to override this from a firmware perspective (i.e. Acer+Broadcom would release a firmware update), from a linux project perspective, investigating and, if viable, implementing an override of said firmware rate limiting as it stands today would need to be done upstream.
