The linux-firmware is not part of the Kernel thats true... The linux-
firmware.git(https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware
/linux-firmware.git/tree/) is way BEHIND the actual progress.

The short for the Killer N1525 is QCA6174 hw2.1 which is NOT part of the
official linux-firmware.

But to enable the device without the patch provided by Adam in this
thread, you can get the firmware from the ath10k development repository:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware

I described a way to install the firmware easy in comment #290.

For me the combination of Kernel 4.2 and the firmware from the ath10k
repository made the patch obsolete.

PS: If you want to revert the the "installation" of the new firmware you
should backup /lib/firmware/ath10k ,but i don't think thats necessary in
most cases.

Bug description:
  Card detail: Qualcomm Atheros Device [168c:003e] (rev 20)
  Subsystem: Bigfoot Networks, Inc. Device [1a56:1525]

  This is on a fully updated Ubuntu Server 14.04 installation, with the ubuntu-desktop environment installed. This happened in order to get the md raid drivers for raid0 on my system, as the desktop version doesn't support them.
