There is also the whole interesting disconnect where they employ one or two cranky old timers to maintain the upstream ath drivers, then have the usual Indian teams write untested rushed upstream "support" patch series for the routing WiFi chips. The old timers don't want to test them because they believe their job is in the tiny and shrinking Qualcomm laptop WiFi market and the Indian teams don't test by doctrine and superior orders. And this is for the Qualcomm-on-Qualcomm case; they fare much worse trying to submit patch series for all the other bits and pieces you need to make the Qualcomm SOC work that invariably comes with the routing WiFi chips.
