This patch moves the ath10k firmware packages to the firmware submenu
in the buildroot, where it belongs.

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.

Tested briefly on Netgear r7800. Firmware failed to load on first
boot, but then it worked after that and I could not reproduce the
failure.

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.
Briefly tested on ea8500.

This firmware has been lightly tested on non LEDE system
to date, and will be undergoing further testing and development.
Allow users to easily install this on their LEDE system as
they prefer.

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.

Use first caldata for devices without OTP. The driver uses the caldata
instead of the board.bin data anyway

Original URL got 303 redirect which then also dropped the commit id
leading to different file revision & MD5 mismatch.
Corrected URL & clarified commit ID use in Makefile

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
per issue #20854. Also updates the Makefile for a change in the
location of the board.bin file for QCA988X in the source repository.
