Why are chip_id and board_id masked? Why cannot we use values directly
provided by the firmware?

And if we need to mask those, it's better to do them in qmi.c where they
are stored:

	if (resp.chip_info_valid) {
		ab->qmi.target.chip_id = resp.chip_info.chip_id;
		ab->qmi.target.chip_family = resp.chip_info.chip_family;
	}

	if (resp.board_info_valid)
		ab->qmi.target.board_id = resp.board_info.board_id;
	else
		ab->qmi.target.board_id = 0xFF;
