Avoid shipping ath10k board file in Mikrotik initram images
Most will only ever need to use these initram images once—to initially
load OpenWrt, but fix these images for more consistent Wi-Fi performance
between the initram and installed squashfs images.
OpenWrt BUILDBOT config ignores -cut packages in the initram images build.
This results in BUILDBOT initram images including the linux-firmware
qca4019 board-2.bin, and (initram image booted) Mikrotik devices loading
a generic BDF, rather than the intended BDF data loaded
from NOR as an api 1 board_file.
buildbot snapshot booted as initram image:
cat /etc/openwrt_version

Update firmware instructions:
Please update the firmware via U-Boot web UI (by default at 192.168.1.1, following instructions found at
https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/3/troubleshooting/debrick/).
Normal sysupgrade, either via CLI or LuCI, is not possible from stock firmware.
Please do use the *gl-b2200-squashfs-emmc.img file, gunzipping the produced *gl-b2200-squashfs-emmc.img.gz one first.
What's working:
- WiFi 2G, 5G
- WPA2/WPA3
Not tested:
- Bluetooth LE/Zigbee

Both targets miss a subtarget causing an image naming style which is
different from other all othe targets, even tho it already uses
`x/generic/` as subfolder as if the subtarget would exist.
This commit adds the Generic subtarget resulting in consistent naming.
