Build for Netgear R7800

After upgrading to r17842-b428f187f0-20211024, my R7800 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz wifi stopped working and the Luci wireless page shows Generic 802.11bg for both radios. I am using the ath10k drivers and from a bit of research, I came across a patch which seems to address the recent issue https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20211020075054.23061-1-kvalo@codeaurora.org/.

This is what I see in my logs:
