ath10k-firmware: QCA4019 hw1.0: Add 8devices Jalapeno specific BDFs

Hi,

Robert Marko is currently trying to integrate the support for 8devices 
Jalapeno in OpenWrt [1]. This module/board 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.

Now to the questions from the wiki page [2]:

* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA401x based module (based on qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk01.1)
  - see OpenWrt pull request for more information [1]

* origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you
  downloaded)

  - it was given to us by 8devices for upstreaming [3]
  - https://github.com/mantas-p/files/tree/master/jalapeno_bdf
  - it is the version 1.6

* ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)

  - bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=8devices-Jalapeno
    sha256sum:
    2f45bd90243558a98df02abf8d29fb4975bac72b25bc21ccdaae5910c18e9d67
  - bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=8devices-Jalapeno
    sha256sum:
    7721b7f26e15291b007774e7dd93e9b750a06778c27304263ef6899ecbcfd5ee

* attach the actual board file (board.bin)

  - see attachments (except the board-8dev_jalapeno.bin which is for Robert's
    OpenWrt tests)
  - The name of the files are equal to the id string in the board-2.bin
    (minus the ".bin")

Kind regards,
        Sven
