This version removes a lot of unusefull warnings that would quickly overflow the dmesg.
Warnings like this:
ath10k_ahb a800000.wifi: Invalid legacy rate 26 peer stats
ath10k_ahb a000000.wifi: Invalid VHT mcs 15 peer stats
On this version I only had 2 warnings at all.
Tested on 8devices Jalapeno.

This updates the ath10k-ct driver to the version from 2018-12-11 and
selects the ath10k-ct version based on kernel 4.19 by default.
CONFIG_ATH10K_CE was introduced between kernel 4.16 and 4.19 and is a
mandatory option.

This backports a patch from the upstream kernel which was also shipped
previously in mac80211.
This fixes the following warning:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 2881 at backports-4.19-rc5-1/net/wireless/util.c:1146 cfg80211_calculate_bitrate+0x238/0x348 [cfg80211]

Commit 2dcd955aea ("mac80211: backport and update patches for ath10k")
changed the DFS detector API, causing ath10k-ct to fail building due to
a missing add_pulse() argument.
Extend the already existing kernel compatibility patch to also adjust
the add_pulse() call accordingly.

Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
board data file is identified on QCA4019 using bus, bmi-chip-id and
bmi-board-id.
The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
fulfill the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
board data file.
This problem was solved for SMBIOS by adding a special SMBIOS type 0xF8.
Something similar has to be provided for systems without SMBIOS but with
device trees. No solution was specified by QCA and therefore a new one has
to be found for ath10k.
The device tree requires addition strings to define the variant name
wifi@a000000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
wifi@a800000 {
status = "okay";
qcom,ath10k-calibration-variant = "RT-AC58U";
};
This would create the boarddata identifiers for the board-2.bin search
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=RT-AC58U
* bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=RT-AC58U

The driver updates include:
ath10k driver backport to fix WPA 'pn' related security bugs
(4.13 based driver only currently),
a fix for off-channel TX for CT wave-1 firmware, a likely
fix for napi related crashes, and a backport of the firmware fetch
patch.
AHB is needed for the IPQ4019 platform radios.

Backport patches that separate spectral scan support from general debugfs
support of ath9k/ath10k; this allows to remove the dependency on
KERNEL_RELAY from these driver packages even with debugfs enabled and
avoids the memory footprint of the relay buffers allocated by ath9k/ath10k
even when they aren't used at all.
The KERNEL_RELAY dependency is moved to a new config symbol that enables
spectral scan support in these drivers.

This backports a patch from kernel 4.14 to the ath10k-ct version based
on kernel 4.13.
Some devices are using a user space script to load the calibration data
from the flash and this was not trigged any more.

This updates mac80211 to backprots-4.14-rc2.
This was compile and runtime tested with ath9k, ath10k and b43
with multiple stations and ieee80211w and in different scenarios by many
other people.
To create the backports-4.14-rc2-1.tar.xz use this repository:
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/backports/backports.git
from tag v4.14-rc2-1
Then run this:
./gentree.py --git-revision v4.14-rc2 --clean <path to linux repo> ../backports-4.14-rc2-1
This also adapts the ath10k-ct and mt76 driver to the changed cfg80211
APIs and syncs the nl80211.h file in iw with the new version from
backports-4.14-rc2.
