[LEDE-DEV] [PATCH] mvebu: Switch Turris Omnia to use ath10k-ct driver and firmware.

My testing has shown both ath10k and firmware to be unstable. Here is a summary of results done over two weeks:

ath10k + QCA firmware = driver crash, WiFi dies completely.
ath10k + CT firmware = driver crash. WiFi dies completely.
ath10k-ct + QCA firmware = firmware crash. WiFi does not die*.
ath10k-ct + CT firmware = I have not gotten either to crash.

WiFi does not die completely with scenario 3 as mac80211 is able to restart the hardware. From my testing, it dies twice a day. I have no idea what triggers it. My best guess is an Apple iPhone.

I also tried QCA firmware 37. No difference.
