QCA6174 - failed to fetch board data

QCA6174 - failed to fetch board data

[Tim Klicks]

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am running Fedora 31 on my Redmibook 14 and I am facing a problem 
regarding the wifi.
The wifi is not working when using any linux-firmware package provided.
Neither the one coming via the official update channel nor cloning the 
git repo and using the master branch is helping.
The only way to get it to work was by following this Gentoo Linux KB 
article:
https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Qualcomm_Atheros_QCA6174
Which is pointing to this github pull request:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/pull/3

Although wifi is working with this workaround, could you please check 
how much work it would be to integrate this fix into the mainline package?


Here are some information about the wifi adapter and some kernel 
messages which might help figuring out the root cause.

Sorry, no time to check the details on your problem but if this is about
a missing board file please submit them using these instructions:

https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/boardfiles

Do note that I have like 20 board file submissions pending, but I'll get
to them eventually.

I don't deal with pull requests as it's very hard to diff binary file
changes, I wish I could disable the pull request feature on github
altogether but have not figured out how to do that.
