As far as I understand, Debian package "firmware-atheros (20230625-2)" includes:

  ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin
  ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/board-2.bin

Not sure which value I should encode for this board's firmware-5.bin ...

I'll try the upstream value.

Don't know how to say:
"Use THIS firmware-5.bin for all msm8998 platforms"


Testing patch proposed on March 5...
"Houston, we have a problem."

QMI stuff happens much EARLIER than firmware-5.bin handling.
(ar->running_fw is still NULL)

I don't know how to solve this problem.
(If we just skip waiting for MSA_READY, there is no problem)

Kalle, Jeff, do you see a way out of this conundrum?
