It's a 9980 chip. This was 9984 predecessor.
         ^ = Watch out for that 9! <https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qca9980>

It would belong to the 99X0 directory of your ath10k-firmware repo:
https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA99X0/hw2.0

But there's one issue: there is no v2 board-2.bin in there yet.

However the codeaurora's ath10k-firmware repo provides the board-2.bin here:
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/qsdk/oss/firmware/ath10k-firmware/plain/ath10k/QCA99X0/hw2.0/board-2.bin

(this also includes the reference bmi-board-id for 2, 4 and 6. I guess this
would help other people as well):
https://source.codeaurora.org/quic/qsdk/oss/firmware/ath10k-firmware/plain/ath10k/QCA99X0/hw2.0

So could you please add that board-2.bin from codeaurora and add
the ASRock G10 specific variant to it? That would be sweet.

Thank you,
Christian
