In addition to what Baochen already said, I just want to point out that this
NFA765-specific firmware is meant for Internet of Everything (IOE) devices.
This can be observed by the firmware version containing
QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_IOE vs QCAHSPSWPL_V1_V2_SILICONZ_LITE.
The generic firmware is the correct firmware for your device, and Baochen and
team and working to fix that firmware for your issue.
