Hi,

Yes I tested this on qcm6490-fairphone-fp5 including some extra patches
for wpss-pas remoteproc support (nothing special, just adding it to the
existing PAS driver) and wifi enablement in dts.

I built this line from info from the dmesg, hope it's okay:

Tested-on: wcn6750 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.MSL.1.0.1-01264-QCAMSLSWPLZ-1.37886.3


And thinking about it, a Fixes tag would also be appropriate for this
patch.
The code was moved to a different file in commit ba929d6fe31a ("ath11k:
Remove rproc references from common core layer") but I think this tag
should be correct.

Fixes: d5c65159f289 ("ath11k: driver for Qualcomm IEEE 802.11ax devices")

Thanks!
