This firmware shoul have the same general feature set as the
rest of the 10.4 CT firmware (9984, 9980, etc). Build-tested
only in LEDE, but firmware has been tested with ath10k-ct driver
on other OSs, so likely works just fine.

The 988x and 9887 firmwares include a bugfix for a case where blockack
did not work sometimes, and many fixes for compiler warnings detected
by newer gcc compilers.
The 9980 and 9984 firmware includes a large backport of upstream QCA
firmware changes to bring it up to date.

update the qca988x firmware to firmware-5.bin_10.2.4-1.0-00029.
According to LEDE Forum, the new firmware supports mesh mode.
Also, it seems to have several improvements.

Do not select the qca988x by default as soon as kmod-ath10k is
selected. We do support more ath10k chips than the qca988x in the
meantime, so this dependency doesn't make sense any longer.

Fixes firmware crash in rare cases and a bug

push mode
for those who kept experiencing it after previous firmware update.

And, update support for 9880 chipsets. The new firmware
fixes a regression with EAPOL 4/4 packets added in
a recent commit.
It also fixes a case where the firmware would improperly try
to use STBC when configured for 1x1 (as 9887 always is).

This patch updates the QCA988X firmware to the latest revision
firmware-5.bin_10.2.4-1.0-00016
found in the official ath10k-firmware repository.
Tested on TP-Link Archer C7 v2.

For 988X, 9980, 9984 CT firmware.
This should allow IBSS + RSN on at least the 988X firmware,
and includes recent stability fixes for all firmware.

Current board-2.bin file for qca9984 in Kvalo's repo is from branch
10.4-3.2, while board-2.bin file in code-aurora repo is newer and
corresponds to the branch 10.4-3.3, the same as recently updated firmware.
Considering that it's better to have all parts from the same branch
we are updating board-2.bin as well.

A new firmware that is available on code-aurora repository is newer
than in Kvalo's repo.
Taking into account that firmwares that are in Kvalo's repo are considered
to be tested by internal QCA team, this one seems to be more stable
and fixes this bug:
ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: received unexpected tx_fetch_ind event: in
push mode
At least i havent faced it for a while in contradiction to current version.
Thus switching firmware source for qca9984 until it or a newer version
gets into Kvalo's repo.

CT firmware files use the same filename with a different URL for
different chips. Since all files end up in dl/, filenames need to be
unique as well.
Add a chip prefix to the output filename to fix this issue.

The 10.1 includes a good many stability fixes related to the effort of
backporting upstream 10.2 firmware. Also enables 802.1q vlan support.
Successfully tested on apu2.
The 10.4 firmwares including new backported code as well as stability
fixes. 10.4 has been tested on Fedora x86-64 platforms, but not on LEDE
specifically since I had issues compiling LEDE for my 9980/9984 AP hardware.

* Backport much of the 10.2 firmware features from upstream QCA driver.
This includes ANI support, adaptive CCA, tx-hang workarounds,
and lots of other things.
Not all of this may be enabled at this point, and more code waits to
be backported as time and motivation allows.
* Fix some rate-control issues where ath10k in station mode (at least), would
sometimes get stuck at low rates. This appeared to be a probe related
state machine issue in the firmware, so I added some timeout logic to kick
the state machine if it gets stuck. This signicantly improves throughput
tests with many stations.
* Support configuring WMI WD timeout using SET_SPECIAL API.
* Properly configure the rx-mask on bootup to work around problem found
by Mr. Kazior. This should remove the need to add the driver hack he
posted.
* Allow configuring pdev failed-retry threshold. This is how many consecutive
tx failures the firmware will allow before resetting the wifi chip (not a full
firmware crash).

This patch moves the ath10k firmware packages to the firmware submenu

Use firmware version 10.2.4.70.54 from kvalo's git repository. The old
version (even though it's version number is greater) is an old version
from September 2015.
Using only the firmware versions from kvalo's git repo is recommended,
because those are tested by QCA's internal QCA.
The QCA988X directory received a small reorganization as a "hw2.0"
subdirectory was added - this patch also takes care of that as
board.bin was moved to that subdirectory.

Among other things, this compiles out support for peer caching.
The feature did not seem to work well in my testing of AP mode,
and totally breaks my own special use of station mode.

This lets one use the CT ath10k driver instead of the built-in
ath10k driver from the upstream kernel (or backports).
This should be a drop-in replacement, as well as enabling
better CT firmware support.

This allows one to select CT firmware for ath10k
if one prefers to try this firmware instead of stock
ath10k firmware.
The 10.1 (988X) firmware can actually be installed beside the
default firmware, but it will not be used as long as the firmware-5.bin
file exists. Users could rename the files and reboot to use different
images.
The 99X0 (wave-2) firmware uses the same firmware-5.bin name as default
firmware, so it cannot be installed at the same time as default firmware.

Updates the ath10-firmware release to current git and updates the
QCA988X firmware in use to version 10.2.4.70.12-2 which appears to
actually fix the stability problems when using a Nexus 5X phone as
