re: comment #23. Response from Upstream:

"Yes - either 4.2-rc or newer, or use Kalle's tree[1].

The qca6174 hw2.1 fix has been pulled into 4.1-stable[2] but it
doesn't understand the ignore_otp_result firmware feature flag so if
you rename the firmware-5.bin[3] to firmware-4.bin you'll need to load
ath10k_core module with "skip_otp=y" parameter.
