This updates the firmware files for the QCA9888 and QCA4019
chips to a more recent version which is also used in the linux-firmware
repository.

Could someone with a QCA4019 or QCA9888 device please test this.
I do not have these deceives to test this myself.

The new IPQ4019 firmware isn't as stable as the old one. I do see hangs
from time to time (rx ring became corrupted). Whenever this is due to a
bug in the firmware or the firmware is pushing harder, I don't know.

Thank you for the information, so I will not upgrade the IPQ4019 firmware.

I also wanted to upgrade the QCA988X firmware first, but it was crashing
directly after being loaded and now linux-firmeware ships the old one again:

FYI: There's a new firmware now for the IPQ4019:

firmware-5.bin_10.4-3.2.1-00058
