* 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).

* Change git packages to xz
* Update mirror checksums in packages where they are used
* Change a few source tarballs to xz if available upstream
* Remove unused lines in packages we're touching, requested by jow- and blogic
* We're relying more on xz-utils so add official mirror as primary source, master site as secondary.
* Add SHA256 checksums to multiple git tarball packages

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.

Update the linux-firmware package in order to force the buildbots to fetch the
proper mirrored version.
Currently each builder has its own copy of the linux-firmware checkout staged
in its own dl/, since the package was updated before the mirrored copy has
been uploaded. The builders then subsequently uploaded their own copy instead,
leading to md5sum mismatches since each clone produces different tarballs.
By bumping the package to a new version and uploading the mirrored archive
with the proper md5sum beforehand, the builders will fetch that instead and
not upload their own copies.
To properly solve that problem in the future we need to ensure that packed
checkouts become reproducable.

Since the md5sum of the mirrored Git clone archive has been set in the Makefile
before that particular archive was uploaded to the source mirror, the buildbots
uploaded their own, different copy instead invalidating the mirror md5sum for
anyone else.
In order to fix the mismatch, update the md5sum to reflect the archive being
present on the download server.

Using few packages will allow saving some space by decreasing rootfs

Moreover there are more firmware files that may require packaging and

This can especially useful now, with per device rootfs.

There are multiple prism54/p54 firmware versions for different

Instead of downloading the firmware for prism54 devices in the
wireless.mk do it in an extra package Makefile. To ship the complete
source code Intel ships our modified OpenWrt/LEDE + the content of the
dl directory. We do not want to have any files in the dl/ directory
which are not needed to build our images. The prism54 gets downloaded
every time independently of building kmod-net-prism54 or not. When it
is in a own package it only gets downloaded when the firmware package
is selected.

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.
