As of now OTP is being correctly parsed and the driver requires to parse pre-caldata to follow corresponding routine.
Rename cal file into pre-calfile so the board initialized correctly with API 2 board data (board-2.bin).
Also remove the now unneeded for qca9984 board.bin symlink to 5GHz calfile.

This firmware shoul have the same general feature set as the
rest of the 10.4 CT firmware (9984, 9980, etc). Build-tested
only in LEDE, but firmware has been tested with ath10k-ct driver

The 988x and 9887 firmwares include a bugfix for a case where blockack
did not work sometimes, and many fixes for compiler warnings detected
by newer gcc compilers.
The 9980 and 9984 firmware includes a large backport of upstream QCA
firmware changes to bring it up to date.

Split the fritz-tools into subpackages. fritz_tffs_read is usefull for
all Fritz boards where fritz-cal_extract is only required for the
Fritz 4040 at the moment.
Rename the tffs related binary to the more catchy name fritz_tffs and
move the whole package to utilities since the package doesn't really
provide a firmware file.
Make the fritz-tools available for all targets and build them shared.
The tffs is used by avm on lantiq and ar71xx as well.

On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated:
"board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files.
Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need
distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they
fail in various ways." [0].
Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained:
"In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration
(pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents
are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board
data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from
board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should
be loaded first to get proper board id.
|My understanding until now was that:
|
| * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data
Correct." [1].
The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019
barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail
to connect at all and if they do, they have very low
throughput even right next to the router.
Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a
custom board-2.bin for every device.
To implement this feature, this method makes use of:
Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying
rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations:
1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right
location, there can only one board overwrite installed
at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other.
It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.)
2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace
the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to
manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the
ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated.
To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder
utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository:
<https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife>
The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the
vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.

A new firmware that is available on code-aurora repository is newer
than in Kvalo's repo.
Taking into account that firmwares that are in Kvalo's repo are considered
to be tested by internal QCA team, this one seems to be more stable
and fixes this bug:

The QorIQ LS1012A processor, optimized for battery-backed or
USB-powered, integrates a single ARM Cortex-A53 core with a hardware
packet forwarding engine and high-speed interfaces to deliver
line-rate networking performance.
QorIQ LS1012A Reference Design System (LS1012ARDB) is a high-performance
development platform, with a complete debugging environment.
The LS1012ARDB board supports the QorIQ LS1012A processor and is
optimized to support the high-bandwidth DDR3L memory and
a full complement of high-speed SerDes ports.
LEDE/OPENWRT will auto strip executable program file while make. So we
need select CONFIG_NO_STRIP=y while make menuconfig to avoid the ppfe network
fiemware be destroyed, then run make to build ls1012ardb firmware.
The fsl-quadspi flash with jffs2 fs is unstable and arise some failed message.
This issue have noticed the IP owner for investigate, hope he can solve it
earlier. So the ls1012ardb now also provide a xx-firmware.ext4.bin as default
firmware, and the uboot bootcmd will run wrtboot_ext4rfs for "rootfstype=ext4"

* Backport much of the 10.2 firmware features from upstream QCA driver.
This includes ANI support, adaptive CCA, tx-hang workarounds,
and lots of other things.
Not all of this may be enabled at this point, and more code waits to
be backported as time and motivation allows.
* Fix some rate-control issues where ath10k in station mode (at least), would
sometimes get stuck at low rates. This appeared to be a probe related
state machine issue in the firmware, so I added some timeout logic to kick
the state machine if it gets stuck. This signicantly improves throughput
tests with many stations.
* Support configuring WMI WD timeout using SET_SPECIAL API.
* Properly configure the rx-mask on bootup to work around problem found
by Mr. Kazior. This should remove the need to add the driver hack he
posted.
* Allow configuring pdev failed-retry threshold. This is how many consecutive
tx failures the firmware will allow before resetting the wifi chip (not a full
firmware crash).

Update the linux-firmware package in order to force the buildbots to fetch the
proper mirrored version.
Currently each builder has its own copy of the linux-firmware checkout staged
in its own dl/, since the package was updated before the mirrored copy has
been uploaded. The builders then subsequently uploaded their own copy instead,
leading to md5sum mismatches since each clone produces different tarballs.
By bumping the package to a new version and uploading the mirrored archive
with the proper md5sum beforehand, the builders will fetch that instead and
not upload their own copies.
To properly solve that problem in the future we need to ensure that packed
checkouts become reproducable.
Signed-off-by: Jo-Philipp Wich <jo@mein.io>
Since the md5sum of the mirrored Git clone archive has been set in the Makefile
before that particular archive was uploaded to the source mirror, the buildbots
uploaded their own, different copy instead invalidating the mirror md5sum for

present on the download server.
