Re: [PATCH 1/2] dt-bindings: net: wireless: ath10k: add qcom,no-msa-ready-indicator prop

[ Below is my 2nd attempt at a clearer message. ]

Problem: firmware-5.bin has not been parsed yet when we have to handle
the ATH10K_QMI_EVENT_SERVER_ARRIVE case, so we can't rely on feature bits
to work around the lack of MSA_READY indicator.
