Sure. For wcn3990 we do not have the
`ath10k_hw_params_list[].fw.board' set. So if the board data is not
present in `board-2.bin', the driver will skip looking into
`board.bin' and will error out.

I had two options: either to set the `.fw.board' in
`ath10k_hw_params_list', or to provide this default. Granted that the
check for `fw.board' also prevents the `board-%s-%s.bin' lookup, I
opted for the second option.

Maybe I should just set the .fw.board to "board.bin" and
.fw.board_size to 26328 (?)
