Hi,

I am currently trying to integrate the OpenMesh A42 support in LEDE [1]. This 
AP requires two special BDFs to get the Wi-Fi PHYs working (correctly). The 
bmi-board-id='s would clash with one of the the IPQ401X AP-DK boards because
QCA doesn't provide special IDs for customers and seems to use the AP-DK
board-ids in the wifi firmware to change its behavior. But we've already
proposed a patch to work around this kind of problem [2].

The name of the files are equal to the id string in the board-2.bin (minus the 
".bin"):

* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=OM-A42
  - sha256sum: 
    10700a7ac636d57fe055e5bb4bd5f7bb3f1c282a7f25a8bb2204fc36e8c317bf
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=OM-A42
  - sha256sum:
    b3d9556894e509ac608b2e27c9169da12c63634670bb69c5ef21fb31583e7998
  
I think that Christian Lamparter also has some BDFs for Asus RT-AC58U, 
FRITZ!Box 4040 and Zyxel NBG6617 [3] which could be upstreamed in a similar 
way. So please tell us when you want to have these things submitted in a 
slightly different way.

Kind regards,
	Sven
