The firmware name gives no indication what this file is about (remember
that linux-firmware.git has a lot of files). Please name it properly,
don't just use what is used in by firmware build scripts :) Take into
account also future hw support, all firmware files need to coexist in
the same repository without user invention. In a way the firmware
filename is part of kernel/userspace interface and needs to be stable.
For example, you could use something like "qtnfmac/qsr10g.img" (assuming
qsr10g is the name of chip).
I forgot already, is the firmware image ready for submission to
linux-firmware.git?

The driver seems to be quite spammy with info messages:
qtnfmac/cfg80211.c: pr_info("%s: %sregistered mgmt frame type 0x%x\n", __func__,
qtnfmac/cfg80211.c: pr_info("QTNF: %s cipher=%x, idx=%u, pairwise=%u\n", __func__,

qtnfmac/cfg80211.c: pr_info("%s: MAX_IF: %zu; MODES: %.4X; RADAR WIDTHS: %.2X\n", __func__,
qtnfmac/cfg80211.c: pr_info("macid=%d, phymode=%#x\n", mac->macid, mac->macinfo.phymode);
qtnfmac/commands.c: pr_info("%s: unexpected TLV type: %.4X\n",
qtnfmac/commands.c: pr_info("%s: STA %pM not found\n", __func__, sta_mac);

qtnfmac/commands.c: pr_info("fw_version = %d, num_mac=%d, mac_bitmap=%#x\n",

qtnfmac/commands.c: pr_info("MAC%d reported channels %d\n",

qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("%s: BAR[%u] vaddr=0x%p busaddr=0x%p len=%u\n",
qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("%s: set mps to %d (was %d, max %d)\n",

qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("starting download firmware %s...\n", bus->fwname);
qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("successful init of PCI device %x\n", pdev->device);
qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("Register Quantenna FullMAC PCIE driver\n");
qtnfmac/pcie.c: pr_info("Unregister Quantenna FullMAC PCIE driver\n");
qtnfmac/trans.c: pr_info("%s: interrupted\n", __func__);
qtnfmac/trans.c: pr_info("%s: skb dropped\n", __func__);
Usualle the preference is that driver is quiet until something goes
wrong. I hope some of these could be debug messages.
