Do you mean this ath6kl patch:
https://github.com/AdamWill/baytrail-m/blob/master/kernel/support-Dell-OEM-chipset-found-in-Venue-8-Pro-SDIO-I.patch
That looks good to me, but please submit it officially as defined in the wiki:
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath6kl#hacking_on_ath6kl
I also saw the comment about broken ath.git link, I fixed that now.

You should submit the patch following the general Linux patch submission
rules. If you are not familiar with that I recommend doing thorough
research before your first. And for the actual submission I strongly
recommend to use 'git send-email'. Also remember to make sure that all
legal requirements are fulfilled, especially Signed-off-by tags.
Oh, and you have to use your real legal name. I can't take patches from
pseudonyms.
Here are few pointers:
