According to many bugreports [0][1][2] the default ath10k-ct kernel
module is unusable on devices with just 64 MiB RAM or with 128 MiB and
dual ath10k cards. The target boards boot but eventually oom-killer
starts to interfere with normal operation, so the current state is
effectively broken.
Since the two patches in question have a performance impact (and
possibly some other unexpected side-effects) a dedicated build variant
is added so that users of the low RAM devices can still benefit from all
the ath10k-ct advantages.
According to testing [3] results, the issue can be experienced even with
"a 256MB device with three radios". Measured performance impact of
implementing small buffers was lowering "the maximum 5 GHz throughput on
an IPQ40xx device without RPS/XPS optimizations from 494/432 Mbit/s for
TCP transfers (download/upload) to 438/343 Mbit/s"
The patches were apparently inspired by QSDK tweaks used by ODMs for the
affected devices.
