Yes, I managed to upstream the wifi dts changes some time ago and they
all have been accepted. In fact the new 4.14 does ships with those.

How is your upstreaming progess going?

What do you want to know?

I'm assuming that you are looking for a way to package the two board.bin
(2GHz and 5GHz) into a board-2.bin. You can just use the ath10k-bdencoder
tool from the <https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife>

Note: ath10k-bdencoder can also unpack existing board-2.bin that are
currently shipped with any of the the ipq-wifi packages. So the fastest way
would be to unpack a existing board-2.bin (this will create a .json file and
the individual .bins). Then you just have to replace the two board.bin files
and repack it (the repack process will need the created .json file again.)

If this isn't what you are looking for, you might find it in the 
"firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions" commit message.

Regards,
Christian
