Hello again,

one last word about the the board files:

I extracted the board files from an AsusTek Windows Driver installer
that included the Qualcomm driver files for diverse variants of QCA9377
built in Samsung, Asus (Askey), Acer, Lenovo notebooks.

An archive with all these files can be found at the comment 10 of my bug report
<https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=112451#c10>
including board files (eeprom_*.bin) for NFA425, NFA435 (A), NFA455.

If some people experience trouble, those might look at the netathr10x.inf 
to find out which eeprom board file is needed or try out by installing
it to /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA9377/hw1.0/board.bin. 

Those board files are using api 1 and must be named board.bin.
firmware-5.bin is still to be pulled from kvalo's github repo.

Thank you to all for your support. I wish the best!

Tobias
