I'd go so far as to say it's not fully supported.
Looking at the bug tracker here, specifically comment #117, it would appear there is a workaround to get it to function properly.
Instruction
Disable uefi in bios https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BwOE0eOE-p4OMGg4TkxHV0Z3WVk and
reinstall os :)
After running this command "modinfo ath10k_pci | grep 0041" you see this line "alias: pci:v0000168Cd00000041svsdbcsci*" it's okay you

- Install firmware
git clone https://github.com/atondwal/ath10k-firmware.git
sudo cp -r ath10k-firmware/ath10k/ /lib/firmware/
cd
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6164
sudo cp -r hw2.1/
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA6174/
sudo echo "options ath10k_core
skip_otp=y" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/ath10k_core.conf
Reboot
Any OS that requires me to change my UEFI settings and reinstall it isn't fully compatible in my eyes. That said, it looks like it's possible (as of a couple of weeks ago mind you), so it's probably close. Comment 118 indicates this page here has some useful information too, but none of it sounds solid really.
If it's a laptop you particularly want though you could always use a USB adapter or a different wireless card, at least until it's properly supported.
