ath10k-sdio: failed to load firmware

[Hermida, Isaac]

Hi guys,

I know that it is still under development, but I am trying to use the ath10k driver with SDIO support on the QCA6574 chip. At least, based on all the commits, I should be able to load the firmware and have at least a minimal support (station), but currently I am unable to load the FW correctly.

I am using the latest "firmware-sdio-6.bin_WLAN.RMH.4.4.1-00011-QCARMSWP-2", board.bin and board-2.bin from [1].
"""
# md5sum *

"""

I am using an upstream kernel "5.1.14" and commit " a7891b029909009ffa4cd7b62593979f3d91aef7" from [2].

The load of the driver fails as:

I am using the correct FW files? Is anything else needed, maybe rename some file?
