If combo firmware is loaded by the mwifiex, then this driver would not detect any bootloader signatures, and would skip FW downloading and move on.

Got it! We will work on this requirement for sure and come up with something soon in the next patch for this driver. FYI, firmware download takes around 20 seconds at 115200 baudrate, which is highly unacceptable by many customers. 😊 Thanks, Neeraj
