Problem worked around.
It appears that SL7.8 installed a new firmware interface
/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/firmware-6.bin
which is incompatible with kmod-ath10k_pci.rpm from epel (correction 
that should be elrepo), <<<=========
so I just renamed that file for the time being and rebooted and it used 
the previous firmware-5.bin file OK.
