ath10k failing with firmware RM.4.4-00022-QCARMSWPZ-2 on QCA6174 (Killer 1535)

[Chris Le Sueur]

Dear all,

(per request by kvalo on #ath10k)

I was trying out the firmware-5 from git to see if it would fix
throughput issues, but instead the driver just failed to work. I am
using kernel 4.8.15 on Fedora 25, and the following was printed to the
kernel log:
