I ran apt update & apt upgrade and amongst the bunch I also updated the firmware-atheros package to 20190114-2+linaro2. Now I get the following error when modprobing:

I have QCA6174A chipset.
I tried cloning ath10k-firmware repo and using the latest versions for firmware-6.bin in hw3.0 (using these steps), but no luck.
Does anyone have any suggestions what else should I try. I know I could blacklist the package with apt-mark, but I think that should be a last resort.
