+Subject: ath10k: search DT for qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant
+
+Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
+board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
+bmi-board-id.
+
+The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
+fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
+board data file.
+
+This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
+Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
+device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
+to be found for ath10k.
+
+The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
+
+    wifi@a000000 {
+    	status = "okay";
+    	qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
+    };
+
+    wifi@a800000 {
+    	status = "okay";
+    	qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
+    };
+
+This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
+
+ *  bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
+ *  bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U
