[OpenWrt-Devel] [PATCH CC 3/5] mac80211: make ath10k firmware v2 selectable

[Günther Kelleter]

From: blogic <blogic at 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73>

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.
