It sounds quite reasonable to pass this using firmawre-N.bin instead of DT, however that would imply that we need to find firmware-N.bin in the device-specific directory, where we keep the wlanmdsp.mbn as well - and not under /lib/firmware/ath10k For other devices (e.g. ADSP, modem or wlanmdsp.mbn) we're putting these in e.g. /lib/firmware/qcom/LENOVO/81JL/ and specifies the location using a firmware-name property in DT.
