I changed this to bool as there's only two values, true or false.

I changed this to:

"Booting in factory test mode\n"

What is this warning supposed to tell the user? Should it be a debug
message instead?

For consistency I renamed this to ATH11K_STATE_FTM.

As the variable is is in core.c I moved this to core.h.

I changed this to:

ath11k_warn(ab, "mac operations not supported in factory test mode\n");

EWOULDBLOCK is defined as EAGAIN, so it doesn't look approriate here. I
changed it to EOPNOTSUPP.
