A question about supporting the QCN9072 radio

[Dawei Chen]

Hi Vasanthakumar,

My apologies.  It was a typo in my original email.
I meant to type ath11k.

The ath11k source code has references to QCN9074. Ath11k-firmware files are also available for QCN9074.

However, there is no reference to QCN9072 and no ath11k-firmware for QCN9072.
My concern is that the current ath11k solution (host driver and TFW) does not support QCN9072.

Best Regards,
Dawei

QCN9072 is a wifi-6E chipset, pls try ath11k instead of ath12k that is meant for wifi-7
and future chipsets.
