Any relatively recent (last few years) ath10k-ct firmware should support this
for wave-2.  wave-1 ath10k-ct has some slightly more limitted support for the same
feature.  I think all variants would support this, but we test internally with the -htt-mgt
version that pushes all the management frames over the data packet transport, so I suggest
using that.

Thanks,
Ben
