First, this is not true. As the diffstat below clearly shows,
qca/htbtfw20.tlv and qca/htnv20.bin are existing firmware which are
updated by these patches. So at minimum you need to address this in the
regression potential.

Second, some of the files added by this update aren't currently used in
the groovy kernel, and I don't see patches on the list which would add
their use. Did I overlook the corresponding kernel patches?

Thanks,
