[ath9k-devel] [PATCH 2/2] ath10k: only warn about incompatible firmware versions

[Kalle Valo <kvalo@qca.qualcomm.com>]

Most of the time it does more harm than good to halt the
driver initialisation if the firmware version is not
supported. For example, sometimes it's good to test
something from older versions etc. So just change the
check to a warning.
