The ath10k-ct firmware imposes a lower STA limit than the QCA based flavor, namely 32 vs. 128 connected STAs.

This might be an issue in environments with a lot of concurrently connected clients. The ath10k-ct driver allows configuration of these limits using its fwcfg configuration framework.

The STA limit comes from memory constraints within the wireless system. Thus, we need to reduce the number of concurrent vdevs to increase the number of concurrent stations. This is not much of a problem, as Gluon uses a maximum of 4 VAPs per radio.

gluon-core: increase ath10k peer limit
31d5970 
Increase the peer limit for ath10k-ct from 32 to 128 STAs like it is set
for the non-ct firmware / driver.

70f7818 
Increase the peer limit for ath10k-ct from 32 to 128 STAs like it is set
for the non-ct firmware / driver. In order to make this work with the
memory constraints of the wireless platform, reduce the number of
concurrent vdevs to the maximum Gluon uses (4).
