@Patola, it seems you didn't run apport on his machine so I cannot find
anything related to QCA6174 in your logs. Please run `sudo apport-
collect 1884100` on his machine, with linux-firmware version 1.187
installed, so that we may have a chance to know what happened exactly in
this case. Per bug description, this will result in no WiFi, so you may
need a usb-ethernet or something similar to gain network access on his
device.

Title:
Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac fails in linux-firmware 1.187
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
This bug is done for a friend. I do talk to him occasionally and he
sends me data. As he's a newbie, he doesn't know how to create a
proper bug report.
Basically, his notebook has the Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac
wireless network adapter (rev 32). He had Ubuntu 19.10 and it worked.
He updated to 20.04 and it stopped working. He installed 20.04 from
scratch and it did not work.
20.04's linux-firmware is 1.187. This version does not work for
Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac.
I asked him to download 19.10's linux-firmware package from the ubuntu
repositories, which is at 1.183. After he installed, apt-marked hold
the package so that it would not be upgrade, and rebooted, his wifi
worked.
I saw the other bug reports regarding this adapter but they are old,
the newer one has expired and it seems to be related to the unsigned
kernel.
