do with those files. I have a feeling that embedded doesn't load firmware
like x86 (from /lib/firmware). So I imagine that these would apply to a
particular partition of the flash.

OpenWRT still loads firmware files from /lib/firmware. The difference is
ath10k expects firmware files to be in a particular sub-directory
depending on hw.
The files I had attached should go to: /lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/

Can you guys try doing the following?
dd if=/dev/mtd4 of=/lib/firmware/ath10k/QCA988X/hw2.0/board.bin bs=1
count=2116 skip=20480
rmmod ath10k_pci
modprobe ath10k_pci
The mtd4 partition contains calibration data from what I understand.
