+Subject: [PATCH] ath11k: support setting FW memory mode via DT
+
+ath11k is really memory intensive for devices with less that 1GB of RAM,
+so lets allow saving a significant amount of memory by setting the FW to
+Mode-1 via DTS for devices that need it.
+
+However the drawback is reduced number of VDEV-s and peers which is a
+reasonable tradeoff.
+
+Mode-2 allows for further reduction, but it has further restrictions.
+
+While we are here, lets add a print to be able to easily determine what
+FW memory mode is being used.
