And we assume that no other firmware than QCA6174 SDIO uses value bigger
than 8? Because if there is a such firmware using, for example, value 9
this might cause a regression.

Anyway, I added this comment to the commit log:

  The real max rx bundle is decided in ath10k_htc_wait_target(), it is
  the min value of HTC_HOST_MAX_MSG_PER_RX_BUNDLE and the value reported
  from firmware. So this change shouldn't cause any regressions with
  other hardware supported by ath10k.
