I have actually tried to do that (what Brian describes above) during the
last years but the problem is that there are just so many different
firmware branches that it's difficult to keep up in ath10k. So in the
end these warnings just confused the users and they mistakenly thought
this warning message is the cause of their problems. That's why I think
it's best to remove this warning.
