Firmware for this card isn't in the current linux-firmware package.
Latest upstream firmware is also tested but doesn't work either.

Qualcomm has upstreamed a new firmware to support this module. It has
been tested and solve the issue.

What repository did you cherry pick the commit from? It wasn't upstream,
so we need to add the url to the changelog (having the sha-1 without
knowing what repo it came from isn't very useful).

I'm assuming we should add this firmware to yakkety as well?

Thanks,
Seth

That's weird, because the commit is from upstream, please refer to this:
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=7534e191256629a20c02e04d5f6d0439c48de80a
Did I mess something up?

And yes this should add to yakkety as well I believe.
Thank you very much!

You had said that the latest upstream firmware doesn't work, and that
led me to believe the commit came from elsewhere. If it is upstream then
everything is fine.

I'll rebase yakkety on upstream which will pull in that commit.

Thanks,
Seth

Applied to xenial and yakkety.
