+Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: fix latency issue for QCA988x
+Date: Thu, 29 Aug 2019 10:45:12 +0800
+
+Bad latency is found on QCA988x, the issue was introduced by
+commit 4504f0e5b571 ("ath10k: sdio: workaround firmware UART
+pin configuration bug"). If uart_pin_workaround is false, this
+change will set uart pin even if uart_print is false.
+
+Tested HW: QCA9880
+Tested FW: 10.2.4-1.0-00037
+
+Fixes: 4504f0e5b571 ("ath10k: sdio: workaround firmware UART pin configuration bug")
