ath10k-firmware: QCA4019 hw1.0/QCA9888 hw2.0: Add OpenMesh A62 specific BDFs

Hi,

I am currently starting to prepare the OpenMesh A62 support for Openwrt. This  
AP requires three 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 [1]:

* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA4018 based module (based on qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk04.1)
  - one QCA4018 radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
  - one QCA4018 radio is used as 5GHz radio
  - an additional QCA9888 5GHz radio is attached via PCI

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

  - it was created by the ODM and QCA for the OpenMesh A62
  - was provided by the ODM to OpenMesh for this product (this includes
    distribution)
  - it is the latest release from 2018-03-29

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

  - QCA4019 hw1.0

    + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=20,variant=OM-A62
      sha256sum:
      df5dc5a55506e2a58dcb0b8542f40226d3bfd530a6fc0bc90c728ab18a57144c
    + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=21,variant=OM-A62
      sha256sum:
      96c3d044fe26522c75313c210ace6f85d5bdcdbce3350214d92467501a01fb88

  - QCA9888 hw2.0

    + bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=OM-A62
      sha256sum:
      c85b23763e748abeb7e8c42e243dab1fc58d1bff94111e4058bdf31ddb14cefa

* attach the actual board file (board.bin)

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

Kind regards,
        Sven
