Description of changes
ath10k firmware did not fully support QCA6174 devices.
The fixed firmware was upstreamed in Nov 2021.
This adds a deprecation warning in preparation to remove this fix, in an effort to not break anyone who hasn't updated.
I expect to make a follow-up PR to remove the code to provide the non-upstreamed firmware by the end of 2024.
