Subject: mac80211: make ath10k firmware v2 selectable
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=c54b1be7c24eb1248e2df5d9a39bf8c4d7181fa4;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2Fthess.git

mac80211: make ath10k firmware v2 selectable

Added option for old firmware version (10.1 API v2). It seems that recent
firmware versions are constantly crashing (at least on a QCA9880-BR4A-R) and
this provides the option to select an older version instead.
