ath10k-firmware: QCA4019 hw1.0: Update Plasma Cloud PA1200 specific BDFs

[Sven Eckelmann]

Hi,

the firmware 10.4-3.6-00140 crashed [1] when the 5GHz of the PA1200 was 
set up. It was noticed that this is somehow related to the option 
baseEepHeader.nonLinearTxFir which was set to 1. There was no feedback from 
QCA and the manufacturer about this problem. So as only known workaround (with 
the latest firmware), this option was set to 0 and the modified BDFs were 
integrated in OpenWrt [2].


Now to the questions from the wiki page [3]:

* description for what hardware this is:

   - it is a IPQ4019 based board
   - one QCA40xx radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
   - one QCA40xx radio is used as 5GHz radio

* origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you
  downloaded)

  - the file from ath10k-firmware was modified by setting the 
    baseEepHeader.nonLinearTxFir to 0 to work around a crash in the ath10k-
    firmware

* ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)

  - BoardNames[0]: 'bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=PlasmaCloud-PA1200'
    BoardLength[0]: 12064
    BoardCRC32[0]: b587e755
    BoardMD5[0]: 4129d301ee1a697af1fa311afcad6f87
  - BoardNames[1]: 'bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=PlasmaCloud-PA1200'
    BoardLength[1]: 12064
    BoardCRC32[1]: 680fe0ec
    BoardMD5[1]: 928c27310acfdef356ce6d6a5cdfc1f2

* attach the actual board file (board.bin)

  - The name of the files are equal to the id string in the board-2.bin
    (minus the ".bin")

Kind regards,
	Sven
