I think that the
package/kernel/mac80211/patches/ath/936-ath10k-fix-otp-failure-result.patch

hack can be removed at this point. The upstream patch that fixed the mess
was added long ago.

|    ath10k: add BMI parameters to fix calibration from DT/pre-cal
|
|    QCA99X0, QCA9888, QCA9984 supports calibration data in
|    either OTP or DT/pre-cal file. Current ath10k supports
|    Calibration data from OTP only.
|    
|    If caldata is loaded from DT/pre-cal file, fetching board id
|    and applying calibration parameters like tx power gets failed.
|    
|    error log:
|    [   15.733663] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: failed to fetch board file: -2
|    [   15.741474] ath10k_pci 0000:01:00.0: could not probe fw (-2)
|    
|    This patch adds calibration data support from DT/pre-cal
|    file.  Below parameters are used to get board id and
|    applying calibration parameters from cal data.
|    
|                    EEPROM[OTP]     FLASH[DT/pre-cal file]
|    Cal param       0x700           0x10000
|    Board id        0x10            0x8000
|    
|    Tested on QCA9888 with pre-cal file.

And the affected ar71xx/ath79, ipq806x devices which have a QCA99X0,
QCA9888 or QCA9984 devices were converted from the hackish cal- to 
the supported pre-cal method a long time ago too.
