Unable to upgrade firmware for QCA988x module, ath10k!

[Ramprasad Vempati]

Below is the output I get. But shouldn't it be working in 11ac mode,
probably in 40Mhz, if regulatory is not updated?

root at banwifilap100u:~# iw reg get
country US:
        (2402 - 2472 @ 40), (3, 27)
        (5170 - 5250 @ 40), (3, 17)
        (5250 - 5330 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
        (5490 - 5600 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
        (5650 - 5710 @ 40), (3, 20), DFS
        (5735 - 5835 @ 40), (3, 30)
        (57240 - 63720 @ 2160), (N/A, 40)

And I'm updating my kernel 3.13.
