WL1837-st on imx6 request_firmware failed with 4.16-RC6

I have an i.MX6 board and I am trying to get Bluetooth operational on
4.16-RC6 using the default imx_v6_v7_defconfig

I have my device tree configured as follows:

&uart2 {
  pinctrl-names = "default";
  pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_uart2>;
  uart-has-rtscts;
  status = "okay";

  bluetooth {
    compatible = "ti,wl1837-st";
    enable-gpios = <&gpio7 8 GPIO_ACTIVE_HIGH>;
  };
};

I have the firmware TIInit_11.8.32  available in /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity

# ls -l /lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/
total 2748
-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root         53488 Mar 21  2018 TIInit_10.6.15.bts

-rwxrwxrwx    1 root     root         50695 Mar 21  2018 TIInit_7.6.15.bts

However, when the Bluetooth driver loads, it appears it cannot locate
the proper firmware image.

I was hoping someone might have some insight on what might be the issue.

Thanks
