I got my card working in Debian testing (I have a Qualcomm Atheros 168c:0041).

Here are the steps, get the latest backports from:

https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/projects/backports/2015/07/31/

Get the latest firmware from:

https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware

Copy the firmware to /lib/firmware/ath10k, apply this patch to the code:

https://github.com/atondwal/linux/commit/22f8a4083883eca3e8a3175315d67d2a04392466

Compile the code and install, then apply this patch to the firmware:

https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/ath10k/QCA6164/hw2.1

Reboot and modprobe ath10k_pci. Do "lshw -C network"; "ip link show" or "rfkill list" to see if you got your card working.

Mine is working perfectly in my Debian (stretch / sid).
