ath10k raw mode

Hi all,
Apologies for resurrecting a 4.5-year-old thread, but it's the most
relevant one I can find…

I'm wondering if there's a firmware file with raw mode enabled for
QCA9377 (rev 31).

I've tried several firmware versions, and they all appear to be
similarly lacking in support for raw mode.

- Default firmware as distributed by Ubuntu

Any chance that there's another one which I'm overlooking, which does
support it?
