Hello,
I have recently purchased some QCA6391 cards and I am going to try to
get them working with Linux.
I've seen the instructions for QCA6390 and I'm wondering if they will
also apply to QCA6391, or if it's possible to get it working without
major work.
Does anyone know?

To my knowledge, from ath11k point of view, QCA6391 should look the same
as QCA6390 but most likely the board file for QCA6391 is different.

Thanks. If I get to that point, I have been given firmware files from the
vendor:
4076546464 3602624 amss.bin
1400223385 57936 bdwlan.bin
1400223385 57936 bdwlan.e0102
1400223385 57936 bdwlan.e0104
1400223385 57936 bdwlan.elf
691636418 57936 bdwlan01.e01
1400223385 57936 bdwlan01.e02
691636418 57936 bdwlan01.e03
3117335203 57936 bdwlan01.e04
1014175487 266684 m3.bin
They are different than those from your repo, but maybe I can use
bdwlan01.e04 as the board file. ????

Yes, that's what I would also suggest to test first: take the firmware
from ath11k-firmware.git and the board file from the vendor.

I would like to report that with your latest qca6390-bringup branch my QCA6391
card is working well with just the one MSI vector. I'm using the board file for
6390 from the linux-firmware repo.
Thanks for the fixes :)

Great, thanks for the report. It's always helpful to know what is
working or not working on the field.
