The deal covers 4G mobile chips, but not 5G, according to Reuters.

Qualcomm received a license on Nov.13 to sell “a number of products, which includes some 4G products,” to Huawei, a spokeswoman told Reuters, but Qualcomm declined to elaborate. It does not cover 5G chips, Reuters says, meaning its overall impact could be muted. The move means Qualcomm is no longer subject to a US Commerce Department order that bans chip manufacturers from supplying Huawei with semiconductors or chip designs built with US software or technology.
