04d3308b62 ipq806x: add support for GL.iNet GL-B1300
This patch adds support for GL.iNet GL-B1300

Specification:
- SOC:        IPQ4028 / QCA Dakota
- RAM:        256 MiB
- FLASH:      32 MiB
- ETH:        Qualcomm Atheros QCA8075 Gigabit Switch (2 x LAN, 1 x WAN)
- USB:        1 x 3.0 (via Synopsys DesignWare DWC3 controller in the SoC)
- WLAN1:      Qualcomm Atheros QCA4028 2.4GHz 802.11bgn 2:2x2
- WLAN2:      Qualcomm Atheros QCA4028 5GHz 802.11a/n/ac 2:2x2
- INPUT:      one reset and one WPS button
- LEDS:       3 leds: Power, WIFI(only for 2.4G currently), and one reserved
- UART:       1 x UART on PCB (3.3V, TX, RX, GND) - 115200 8N1

Installation:
Method 1:
- use serial port to stop uboot
- uboot command: run lf
Method 2:
- push down reset button and power on
- wait until three leds constantly on then release
- upgrade by uboot web at http://192.168.1.1
Note:
- the sysupgrade image need to be renamed to lede-gl-b1300.bin in both method.
- the sysupgrade image can be automatically downloaded if tftp server at
  192.168.1.2 have that file.
- the wifi led will be flashing when writing image.

25a72f5a01 ipq-wifi: drop OpenMesh A42 board-2.bin
The BDFs for OpenMesh A42 were upstreamed [1] to the ath10k-firmware
repository and are now part of ath10k-firmware 2018-01-26. The
ipq-wifi-openmesh_a42 package can now be dropped because OpenWrt already
ships the QCA4019 board-2.bin from this version.

fa03d441e9 firmware: add custom IPQ wifi board definitions
On the ath10k-devel ML Michael Kazior stated:

"board-2 is a key-value store of actual board files.
Some devices, notably qca61x4 hw3+ and qca4019 need
distinct board files to be uploaded. Otherwise they
fail in various ways." [0].

Later on Rajkumar Manoharan explained:

"In QCA4019 platform, only radio specific calibration
(pre-cal-data) is stored in flash. Board specific contents
are read from board-2.bin. For each radio appropriate board
data should be loaded. To fetch correct board data from
board-2.bin bundle, pre-cal/radio specific caldata should
be loaded first to get proper board id.

|My understanding until now was that:
|
| * pre-cal data + board-2.bin info == actual calibration data

Correct." [1].
The standard board-2.bin from the ath10k-firmware-qca4019
barely works on the RT-AC58U. Especially 5GHz clients fail
to connect at all and if they do, they have very low
throughput even right next to the router.

Currently, the solution for this problem is to supply a
custom board-2.bin for every device.

To implement this feature, this method makes use of:
Rafał Miłecki's "base-files: add support for overlaying
rootfs content". This comes with a few limitations:
1. Since there can only be one board-2.bin at the right
   location, there can only one board overwrite installed
   at any time. (All packages CONFLICT with each other.
   It's also not possible to "builtin" multiple package.)

2. updating ath10k-firmware-qca4019 will also replace
   the board-2.bin. For this cases the user needs to
   manually reinstall the wifi-board package once the
   ath10k-firmware-qca4019 is updated.

To create the individual board-2.bin: Use the ath10k-bdencoder
utility from the qca-swiss-army-knife repository:
<https://github.com/qca/qca-swiss-army-knife>
The raw board.bin files have to be extracted from the
vendor's source GPL.tar archieves.
