Hi,

I am adding support for the Meraki MR30H in OpenWrt. [1] This AP requires
two special BDFs to get the Wi-Fi PHYs working (correctly). The bmi-board-
id='s are the same as the existing MR33, although they are physically
different devices (e.g. not just a board revision). The Meraki
firmware uses different BDFs for the MR33 and MR30H.

For the questions from the wiki page [2]:

* description for what hardware this is:

  - IPQ4029 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 files were extracted from the MR30H running a Meraki firmware
released in late 2024

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

  - QCA4019 hw1.0

    + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=20,variant=Meraki-MR30H.bin
      sha256sum:
      ed3df7db8129b4f53516c75df40a0a0379c7d90f7030573458a8a618dd22bbab
    + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=21,variant=Meraki-MR30H.bin
      sha256sum:
      d295477e5c098cef61d74dc7417c435ab6bcef6d8851ca3d21ea1bbf28b00431

* 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,
Hal Martin
