I'm trying to generate the blob, but I found two big issues.
The first: I have too many board files, which one should I use?
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA324i_5.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA344i.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA344i_highTX.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA345i.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA345i_highTX.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA354xp.bin
eeprom_ar6320_2p1_NFA355i.bin
eeprom_qca9377_1p0_NFA435_olpc.bin

The controller is a
"Qualcomm Atheros QCA6174 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 20)"
declared as Killer N1525 on Alienware 15.

Whatever, I can try them one by one later.
I picked up the first and built the firmware blob.
But here's the second issue: it wants the calibration data.

[    2.067447] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: enabling device (0000 -> 0002)
[    2.068679] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: pci irq msi-x interrupts 8 irq_mode

[    3.289099] ath10k_pci 0000:03:00.0: could not probe fw (-110)

How can I generate the cal-pci-0000:03:00.0.bin file?
I'm using the 4.0.0-gentoo kernel on x86_64.
