Missing board ID 4634 in board-2.bin for QCN9274

Hi all

Just wanted to follow up — I had contacted Compex for support but
haven’t received a reply yet. Thankfully, Matt shared a modified
board-2.bin with the proper board ID (4634), and it worked perfectly
on my setup.
As I'm based in Indonesia, returning the module to Singapore wasn’t
really a feasible option — so this fix was a huge help.

Wireless is now fully functional using:
- board-2.bin from Matt
Firmware from:
- WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00217-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
(https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware/-/blob/main/QCN9274/hw2.0/1.3.1/WLAN.WBE.1.3.1-00217-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1/firmware-2.bin)

System log shows the card initializing correctly, and both 2.4GHz and
5GHz radios are operational.

Thanks again to everyone involved, and especially to Matt for
providing the working board file!

There is also a software solution with a new .bin file they have, but I opted for hardcoding and sent the modules back to them.  I would reach our to their support.
