Re: Direct firmware ath10k QCA9377 failed

The first thread you posted contains an explanation, what is insufficient about that?

As I said in that thread the driver will try multiple methods of loading the firmware until it uses one that works, and it will often have support for a firmware before that firmware is publicly available. Unless you have an actual issue, these messages are normal and no cause for concern.
