In commit 9f5bcfe93315 ("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.
