A small suggestion from my side, suppose in near future ROME <v3.2 
wanted to go with new format i.e. acknowledging for last segment of RAM 
patch.
then checking rom_build field may not work.
i.e.
if (le16_to_cpu(tlv_patch->rom_build) >= 0x0302)
config->dnld_mode = tlv_patch->download_mode;

i suggest you to check the byte download_mode directly and decide to 
wait for ACK from SoC, for every RAM patch segment sent.
i think byte download_mode is explicitly for mode of downloading the 
patch i.e. with ACK or NACK. (pls double confirm about this byte).

This is how we are doing for wcn3990 (in Add support wcn3990 patch).
