Thanks for the answer. Is there any feature that uses only api 6? If I want to downgrade to api 4, is there anything that I should pay attention to?

They are just different firmware interface versions to maintain backwards compatibility: https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/ath10k/firmware#firmware_api_versions The actual firmware versions are strings like 'WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00288-QCARMSWPZ-1'. https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1 > Is there a release note?
