My wpa_supplicant config:

ap_scan=2
network={
	mode=1
	scan_ssid=0
	ssid="mesh"
	bssid=02:BA:DE:AF:FE:01
	key_mgmt=WPA-PSK
	proto=RSN
	frequency=2462
	fixed_freq=1
	beacon_int=100
	mcast_rate=18
	ibss_ht_mode=HT20
	psk="89b8e7e66900dd31b4d1fefa60ed3efb"
}

You need at least the wpa_supplicant version from

I don't have numbers here which I am allowed to post but it is only slightly 
(really tiny difference when measurable at all) slower than the AP<->Sta 
setup.

But you also need an wpa_supplicant patch to enable HT-rates (together with 
wpa_supplicant).

Btw. I haven't tested your fw and thus cannot say if anything written above 
would also work with ath10k.

Kind regards,
	Sven
