I found a hack to get this WiFi working on my machine, though is't not solved in general.

Starting with Ubuntu 15.10
install
linux-image-4.4.0-040400-generic_4.4.0-040400.201601101930_amd64.deb
linux-firmware_1.155_all.deb
replace
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board.bin with the file linked in comment 2 of https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=108791

The WiFi sees 2.4GHz and 5 GHz access points. It will associate with my 2.4 GHz access point but not my 5 GHz access point.

Works with Ubuntu 16.04 and linux-firmware 1.158 from Yakkety.
I can connect to 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Access points.

This meets my needs. Thanks!
