Subject: Missing firmware for AR3012 devices

Hi Kalle,

I'm hitting you up because it looks like you've supplied some firmware
for ath3k devices in the past.

Some new ath3k devices were recently enabled in the kernel [1], however
it looks like there's no firmware available under a license which would
allow distros to redistribute it. According to users at [2] the files
should be named AthrBT_0x11020100.dfu and ramps_0x11020100_40.dfu. Any
chance you or someone else at QCA could help get this into
linux-firmware?

Thanks,
Seth

I pinged our bluetooth team about this. Remind me again later if the
firmware is still not yet released.
