Downloading ath10k firmware needs a large number of IOs and
cpuidle's miss predictions make it worse. In the worst case,
resume time can be three times longer than the average on sdio.

This patch disables cpuidle during firmware downloading by
applying PM_QOS_CPU_DMA_LATENCY in ath10k_download_fw().

On what hardware and firmware versions did you test this? I'll add that
to the commit log.

Thank you for sharing it.
It's QCA6174 hw3.2 SDIO WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00029

Thanks, I added that to the commit log.
