Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.

The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill with the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.

This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.

The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name

    wifi@a000000 {
        status = "okay";
        qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
    };

    wifi@a800000 {
        status = "okay";
        qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
    };

This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search

 *  bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
 *  bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U
