commit 2f38c3c01de945234d23dd163e3528ccb413066d upstream.
Chipset from QCA99X0 onwards (QCA99X0, QCA9984, QCA4019 & future) rx_hdr_status is not padded to align in 4-byte boundary. Define a new hw_params field to handle different alignment behaviour between different hw. This patch fixes improper retrieval of rfc1042 header with QCA4019. This patch along with "ath10k: Properly remove padding from the start of rx payload" will fix traffic failure in ethernet decap mode for QCA4019.

I'm curious as to why this backport doesn't include the change to ath10k_htt_rx_h_find_rfc1042(). I understand that the addition of the new field is a dependency for the following patch, but shouldn't the fix included in the upstream commit also be applied to 4.4?
