Unlucky timing also on this one, it conflicts with a patch I applied yesterday:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/ath.git/commit/?h=ath-next&id=2615e3cdbd9c0e864f5906279c952a309871d225

Can you redo the patch to only change ath10k_wmi_event_tdls_peer()?

error: patch failed: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi-tlv.c:240
error: drivers/net/wireless/ath/ath10k/wmi-tlv.c: patch does not apply
stg import: Diff does not apply cleanly

Patch set to Changes Requested.
