Historically, prior to being incorporated into the linux-firmware project, firmware for kernel.org ath1*k drivers has been first published to Kalle's GitHub: https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware https://github.com/kvalo/ath11k-firmware (ath12k firmware was pushed to the ath11k-firmware repo on a temporary basis in anticipation of this move) But in order to have repos with multiple maintainers, as well as to have a hosting platform with more control, we have moved to CodeLinaro: https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath10k-firmware https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath11k-firmware https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware Note that most people should not care about this -- normally you should use the firmware that is in the official linux-firmware repo: https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/ You should only need to access the staging repos if you need a previous version to work around an issue, or if you are testing new firmware that is supposed to fix a problem that you've reported. Please let Kalle & I know if you have any issues with these new repos! /jeff
