I also dont prefer to call *_push_pending for every HTC packets. Similar
to
LL approach, call ath10k_mac_tx_push_pending after processing all
pending
rx messages like calling from ath10k_sdio_mbox_rxmsg_pending_handler.

Better to do changes as HL specific path instead in common path.
The above change will impact QCA6174 based devices.
