Hi,

I am currently working on the Netgear Orbi Pro SRK60 support for
OpenWrt. This
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 update finally makes the QCA9984 stable, this is v6 of Netgear
BDFs and previous ones
would crash the firmware and driver after couple of minutes.

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

* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA4019 based module (based on qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk04.1-c1)
  - one QCA4019 radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
  - one QCA4019 radio is used as 5GHz radio
  - an additional QCA9984 5GHz radio is attached via PCI

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

  - it was pulled from the factory firmware image
  - it is based on latest 2.3.0.0 firmware

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

  - QCA9984 hw1.0

  + bus=pci,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=6,variant=Netgear-Orbi-Pro-SRK60
     md5sum:
     7002a32bac187b47b5e14fb7d1659836

* 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,
Robert Marko
