Strange..

Technically board.bin is more of a template. It doesn't have
calibration data and it doesn't have a mac address. These are
typically pulled from EEPROM of a given device by using otp.bin (it's
just a program that is executed on the device SoC/CPU).

When you consider most routers though their WLAN devices have the
EEPROM empty and have their calibration data stored out-of-band on
Flash partitions. These are basically board.bin files pre-filled with
mac address and calibration data, hence ath10k calls them "cal.bin".
