Just to clarify. I was using the latest firmware files from 
linux-firmware and the driver picks the file wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin which is 
Rev 6.3.10.0.133. So are you saying that I should install the 
wl127x-fw-4-sr.bin from TI's github repo named as wl127x-fw-5-sr.bin and 
give it a try?

I was doing that in this precise moment...
