Hi Sven,
I have actually found WLAN.HK.2.12-01368-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1 v1 ath11k FW for
IPQ8074, IPQ6018 and QCN9074 online and after looking into it, that is
actually the latest version
from QSDK 12.5.

Multiple people have contacted me since the FW spread our various
communities stating that
they have tested it out on IPQ6018 and unlike the current public FW
versions we have available
and use in OpenWrt it works stable.

So, it would help to see the new FW for IPQ6018 especially as it is
quite unstable with the current
public FW that we have to use in OpenWrt.

Regards,
Robert
