Comment 6 for bug 1692836

@acelan,
I'm unsure on where this patch first came from and also don't understand the impact from calling this. I know it was discussed on some forums as a solution to performance problems. The reason that the vendor hasn't submitted upstream is they said there was discussion that this should be fixed in TCP driver and it's cross vendor impact. I don't think that is true because this is not seen on Intel, only on QCA.

Given that and assuming it still has the large performance improvement on newer kernel I think it's worth an attempt to submit upstream along with the test data. The data is irrefutable and if the maintainers think it would be better to put the patch somewhere else, they can recommend where it should go.
