ipq4019: add Ruckus H510 BDF - #135
Conversation
The Ruckus H510's QCA4019 radios return all-zero BMI fuses
(chip_id=0, board_id=0) because the stock Ruckus v54_bsp driver
delivers calibration via a side channel that bypasses BMI entirely.
With BMI invalid, ath10k's upstream BDF lookup tuple never matches
any entry keyed by bmi-chip-id/bmi-board-id.
This BDF contains two entries keyed by per-radio
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant strings ("Ruckus-H510-2g" and
"Ruckus-H510-5g"), distinguishing the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz radios
which would otherwise be indistinguishable to ath10k due to the
identical all-zero BMI tuples on this hardware.
The calibration payloads are taken from the upstream DK04.1-C1
reference-design entries (bmi-board-id=16 for 2.4 GHz,
bmi-board-id=17 for 5 GHz). Each entry also carries a BMI-style
alias key for forward compatibility.

What is the source of the BDF content? |
Reference, BMI 16 and 17 from ath10k-firmware-qca4019-ct. Stock Ruckus delivers cal via a proprietary mechanism that bypasses BMI. Raw payload is on SPI NOR but format isn't documented and would require some RE work. Would defer to your call on whether reference is acceptable here. |

Summary
Adds a board-2.bin file for the Ruckus H510 in-wall 802.11ac AP (IPQ4019, Dakota AP-DK04.1-C1 reference design). Required for the H510 OpenWrt port (separate PR against
openwrt/openwrtwill follow once this lands and we can bumpipq-wifi'sPKG_SOURCE_VERSION).Why this is needed
The H510's QCA4019 radios return all-zero BMI fuses on this hardware — Ruckus's stock
v54_bspdriver writes calibration via a side channel that bypasses BMI entirely. With BMI invalid, ath10k falls back to a key tuple ofbus=ahb,vendor=0000,device=0000,subsystem-vendor=0000,subsystem-device=0000, and the upstreamath10k-firmware-qca4019-ctboard-2.binis keyed only bybmi-chip-id/bmi-board-id, so no entry matches. Both radios identify as the same all-zeros tuple too, which would otherwise force them to share calibration (bad for the 5 GHz radio).What this BDF contains
