In commit9f5bcfe933("ath10k: silence firmware file probing warnings") the firmware loading was changed from request_firmware() to request_firmware_direct() to silence some warnings in case it fails. request_firmware_direct() directly searches in the file system only and does not send a hotplug event to user space in case it could not find the firmware directly. In LEDE we use a user space script to extract the calibration data from the flash memory which gets triggered by the hotplug event. This way the firmware gets extracted from some vendor specific partition when the driver requests this firmware. This mechanism does not work any more after this change.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
