I'm using Annapurna board(Alpine soc V1) on kernel-linux-3.10.20 openWRT.
The board has two QCA9984 wlan boards(2.4 & 5 Ghz). I downloaded the
firmware files from net.
Used, insmod ath10k_core.ko skip_otp=1 also tried without skip_otp param

The wlan 5.0Ghz board bootsup & connects to ssid, pings perfectly.
But the 2.4Ghz board fails to bootup, stating "failed to fetch board file".

One difference I found from the bootlogs
For 5.0Ghz log shows, bmi execute result 0x400
But 2.4Ghz log shows, bmi execute result 0x1000
Could this be the issue, if so how to fix it?

Help needed.

Thanks
Mani
