I did not find any other firmware to check. If you same some links can
you please share.

Too high frequency of what? I am testing this on an 5GHz AP, i could
test it with 2,4GHz to, but need to find that box.

Well this could be an problem, as Khadas VIM support was added in
4.12, and I actually don't have any kernel working before, and this
was first try with WiFi.
I used same firmware which Martin did in his patch in patchwork [4].
Maybe not related to WiFi firmware but Khadas support uses same
android source for BT on ubuntu see [5].
