It's up to Kalle Valo from Qualcomm, I asked him already when he plans to push it upstream...

(In reply to Stanislaw Gruszka from comment #5) > Patch was posted upstream: > http://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=147197824810492 Is there any other block that the FW could be merged into snapshot 1 image?
... and it was applied to linux-firmware git: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=7534e191256629a20c02e04d5f6d0439c48de80a
Installed RHEL-7.3-20160830.n.0 on a system and verified that /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw2.1/board-2.bin and /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/hw3.0/board-2.bin exist and appear to be the proper file sizes from the patch. Marking as verified.
