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!
Can I please ask for IPQ6018 firmware to be updated to 2.9.0.1 as well?

We have added IPQ6018 support to OpenWrt but we are forced to use the old 2.4
firmware since anything newer is crashing on IPQ6018, we had the same issue on
IPQ8074 but it was fixed with 2.9.0.1 firmware.

Even for IPQ8074, there is newer 2.9.0.1 firmware that is only
available as part of
QSDK and the community would benefit from being able to use it.
We are working on getting the AP chipset firmwares updated but
unfortunately no news yet.
why isnt qca releasing the latest firmwares at all. i mean we all know that the qca networking tree contains way newer firmwares for all chipsets since a long time
