Just tried this on an QCA9984 which doesn't seem to have the calibration data in the PCI EEPROM.

    [   71.728929] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: qca9984/qca9994 hw1.0 target 0x01000000 chip_id 0x00000000 sub 168c:cafe
    [   71.732926] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: kconfig debug 1 debugfs 1 tracing 0 dfs 1 testmode 1
    [   71.752282] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: firmware ver 10.4-ct-9984-fW-009-dfa0083 api 5 features peer-flow-ctrl crc32 7198d117
    [   73.805730] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: unable to read from the device
    [   73.805769] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not execute otp for board id check: -110

It works when I use the pre-cal data as calibration data. The checksum in the 
pre-cal seems to be correct. Also the pre-cal data from 0:ART for the 2.4GHz 
and 5GHz QCA4019 seem to work perfectly fine.

Anything which I could have missed or what I could test? Btw. I've also tested 
the non-ct firmware (aka the official one from QCA).
