Sorry for the delay, too many drivers... But this looks good to me, few
small comments.

In the commit message it would it would be good to have an example of
the new firmware path. And also mention that board file (board-2.bin)
handling is not affected, at least that's how understood from reading
the code.

So here you test if ar->board_name is NULL.

What do you mean with empty string in this case, "\n" (with length of 1)
or NULL? Should we also test for strlen(0) in ath10k_fetch_fw_file()?
