Where should Debian take it when QCA is not providing a firmware-5.bin? Kalle
Valo's repo [1] contains different firmware-6.bin (which your ath10k version
doesn't seem to support yet) and firmware-4.bin. And Debian ships both - I
think the ones which were in linux-firmware [2] at the time of the release.
I don't have a QCA6174 hw3.0 but I would guess that ath10k loaded the
firmware-4.bin after it failed to load the firmware-5.bin.
Kind regards,
Sven
