Hi,

The OpenMesh A62 AP requires three special BDFs to get the Wi-Fi PHYs working 
(correctly). The  bmi-board-id='s would clash with one of the the IPQ401X 
AP-DK boards because QCA doesn't provide special IDs for customers and seems 
to use the AP-DK board-ids in the wifi firmware to change its behavior. This 
request contains the file for QCA9888. The QCA4019 one will be submitted 
in a different request.

This update contains:

* add of the antenna gain
* adjustments of the antenna sensitivity (see configAddr)
* CTLs for DFS channels

It supersedes https://lkml.kernel.org/r/1573300.yjC3Zj7d1F@bentobox

Now to the questions from the wiki page [1]:

* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA4018 based module (based on qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk04.1)
  - one QCA4018 radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
  - one QCA4018 radio is used as 5GHz radio
  - an additional QCA9888 5GHz radio is attached via PCI

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

  - it was created by the ODM and QCA for the OpenMesh A62
  - was provided by the ODM to OpenMesh for this product (this includes
    distribution)
  - it is the latest release from 2018-11-28 (with fix to have
    antennagain at correct position)

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

  - QCA9888 hw2.0

    + bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=OM-A62
      md5sum: f8ed39484f5e86d16b6a4377ce8a5243

* 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
