The QCA6174/hw3.0 belongs to a newer revision of the QCA6174 device
([168c:003e] (rev 32)).

My device has (rev 20) which firmware is located under QCA6174/hw2.1.

I tested it still with these results (dmesg | grep ath10k):

[    5.619699] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi-x interrupts 8 irq_mode 0 reset_mode 0

Title:
  Qualcomm Atheros QCA61x4 cannot connect to encrypted 5Ghz networks

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The device works fine with Ubuntu 15.10 mainline kernel 4.2.0 and the
  firmware provided in linux-firmware on 2,4 Ghz wifi networks or
  unencrypted 5GHz networks.

  But when i connect to a encrypted 5Ghz network.  The firmware provide in linux-firmware (WLAN.RM.1.1-00141) crashed like i think is described here:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1516384

  So i installed the latest firmware release
  SW_RM.1.1.1-00157-QCARMSWPZ-1 from ath10k-firmware
  (https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/)

  In this version the firmware doesn't crash but goes into a loop. Like
  you see in dmesg, the device associates with the AP, but from an
  unknown reason it cannot connect.

  At the moment i cannot provide you any details about the AP im testing
  with, because im using my universities network, but if you really need
  them i can test the device with an known AP in a week or so.

  I reported the bug to the ath10k mailing list, but i think the topic got lost:
  http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2015-November/006478.html

  PS: I tested the problem with all mainline and upstream kernels(4.2.6,
  4.3.0,4.4rc4) without any difference.
