ath10k: Increase buffer to fix >1500 MTU frames

The ath10k seems to have an issue with large frames
transmitted over 802.11s. This issue has been worked around
in ath10k-ct. The same patch has now been merged into OpenWrt.

As this might fix mesh issues with ath10k devices, it is backported
to our firmware using a build patch.

Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: ath10k: increase rx buffer size to 2048
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
Before, only frames with a maximum size of 1528 bytes could be
transmitted between two 802.11s nodes.
For batman-adv for instance, which adds its own header to each frame,
we typically need an MTU of at least 1532 bytes to be able to transmit
without fragmentation.
This patch now increases the maxmimum frame size from 1528 to 1656
bytes.
Tested with two ath10k devices in 802.11s mode, as well as with
batman-adv on top of 802.11s with forwarding disabled.
Fix originally found and developed by Ben Greear.
