Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Add module parameters to override board files
Some Surface devices, specifically the Surface Go and AMD version of the
Surface Laptop 3 (wich both come with QCA6174 WiFi chips), work better
with a different board file, as it seems that the firmeware included
upstream is buggy.
As it is generally not a good idea to randomly overwrite files, let
alone doing so via packages, we add module parameters to override those
file names in the driver. This allows us to package/deploy the override
via a modprobe.d config.
