[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH 0/2] update QCA988X ath10k-firmware to the latest version

[Martin Blumenstingl]

According to Kalle Valo (on the OpenWrt mailing list, see [0]) only
firmware binaries from his repository are tested by QCA's internal QA
team.

Additionally he pointed out that the version used in LEDE so far is
from September 2015, despite having a newer version number than the
current "stable" version (10.2.4.70.54).

This updates the firmware for the QCA988X chips to the latest version
available in his repository (meaning the latest stable version).

As a side-note: this should (theoretically) add 802.11s (mesh)
support to the firmware. However, at least for some OpenWrt users this
does not work out-of-the-box.

I have tested this for a few minutes, but maybe we can let this live in
Felix' tree for a few days to get test results from other people as
well.
