According to Kalle Valo (on the OpenWrt mailing list, see [0]) only firmware binaries from his repository are tested by QCA's internal QA team.
Additionally he pointed out that the version used in LEDE so far is from September 2015, despite having a newer version number than the current "stable" version (10.2.4.70.54). This updates the firmware for the QCA988X chips to the latest version available in his repository (meaning the latest stable version). As a side-note: this should (theoretically) add 802.11s (mesh) support to the firmware. However, at least for some OpenWrt users this does not work out-of-the-box. I have tested this for a few minutes, but maybe we can let this live in Felix' tree for a few days to get test results from other people as well.
