Hi Michael,

I have now put the qca6164 card back into my Lenovo Yoga 3 11 (1170)
and tried your first patch from your email on top of 4d43636271
("Merge remote-tracking branch 'wireless-testing/master'") from Kalle.

It looks like I'm still getting firmware crashes with the firmware
files you pointed to:
