ath10k missing firmware/crash kernel 4.4.1

[Gerald Nunn]

I just got a new laptop that has a killer n1525 m.2 wifi/bluetooth
card in it and I'm not having any luck getting it going. The card is
shown as follows in lspci:

lspci -nnn|grep -i atheros
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac
Wireless Network Adapter [168c:003e] (rev 20)

When I first start the computer, dmesg shows the following and it
looks like it can't find some firmware files?

When I try to connect to a wifi network, I get the following in dmesg
showing a firmware crash:
