Hm, this would break the WIFI in the default configuration for the 
FritzBox 4040 image. Currently it only has a dependency on the 
ipq-wifi-fritz4040. (So it will end up without a firmware-5.bin)

Please also note that the ipq-wifi boards need to overwrite the 
board-2.bin provided by the ath10k-firmware-qca4019(-ct) packages.
So switching (or up-/downgrading) these wifi-firmwares will always
require the (manual) reinstallation of the ipq-wifi board
(if available).
