Subject: [PATCH 0/2] ath10k: load device specific board files

Until now it was okay to use a very generic board
data since OTP was supposed to fill in the blanks
(except some cases in which a complete cal data is
provided via cal-pci-xxx or device tree).

However since qca6174 this has changed. It is now
necessary to load specific board file for
different designs in driver. The OTP must still be
run.

Some devices with different subsystem
vendor/device ids may share the same board file.
Driver could maintain a subsystem vendor/device
id to design id however I prefer to just leave
this to userspace (e.g. symlinks). Thoughts?

Looks good, thanks!

There's no need to implement the same thing twice.
Reduce code duplication.

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] ath10k: allow loading device specific board files

Some devices differ slightly and require different
board files. These devices can be differentiated
by looking at PCI subsystem device id. That is the
case for qca6174 devices at least.

Use that and load subsystem id specific board
files if possible. Otherwise fall back to use the
(old) generic board file path.

Using wrong board data may cause device crashes or
invalid behaviour (wrong tx power, garbled RF
signal).
