Hi!

This can be solved by replacing firmware-6.bin by the newest one from
the official repository:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA6174/hw3.0/4.4.1
It was added about a month ago. See also this commit:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/commit/7eb330e1e0f21f325f4f50a98922b3be04d43722
(which mentions a WPA-related issue).
I did this temporarily until the firmware-atheros package is updated.

After boot/module reload, the journal should report the new version (≥ 4.4.1-0079):

  > sudo journalctl --boot | grep WLAN.RM
  Jan 16 10:22:38 quantum kernel: ath10k_pci 0000:3a:00.0: firmware ver WLAN.RM.4.4.1-00079-QCARMSWPZ-1 api 6 features wowlan,ignore-otp crc32 fd869beb

Kind regards,
Paul
