Subject: Re: [OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH v3 5/7] mac80211: make ath10k firmware v2
selectable
Hi,
dont know at10k very well so pardon my uneducated question...
how does at10k know/choose which of the 2 to use ?
Driver tries all possible fw-version files it knows in sequence until the only
one that's installed could be loaded.

Added option for old firmware version (10.1 API v2). It seems that
recent firmware versions are constantly crashing (at least on a
QCA9880-BR4A-R) and this provides the option to select an older version
instead.
