ath10k-firmware: QCA4019 hw1.0: Add Netgear WAC510 specific BDFs

Hi,

I am currently working on the Netgear WAC510 support for
OpenWrt.
This AP requires two special BDFs to get the Wi-Fi PHYs working (correctly). The
bmi-board-id='s would clash with one of the the IPQ401X AP-DK boards because
QCA doesn't provide special IDs for customers and seems to use the AP-DK
board-ids in the wifi firmware to change its behavior.

Now to the questions from the wiki page [1]:

* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA4019 based module (based on qcom-ipq4019-ap.dk01.1-c1)
  - one QCA4019 radio is used as 2.4GHz radio
  - one QCA4019 radio is used as 5GHz radio

* origin of the board file (did you create it yourself or where you
  downloaded)

  - it was pulled from the factory firmware image
  - it is based on latest 5.0.54 firmware

* ids to be used with the board file (ATH10K_BD_IE_BOARD_NAME in ath10k)

  - QCA4019 hw1.0

  + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=16,variant=Netgear-WAC510
     md5sum:
     8fd3e1b98d30be3cd14ae4b110be37f7

  + bus=ahb,bmi-chip-id=0,bmi-board-id=17,variant=Netgear-WAC510
     md5sum:
     5a42cb70b249e704bb50561bf274e468

* attach the actual board file (board.bin)

  - The name of the files are equal to the id string in the board-2.bin
    (minus the ".bin")

Kind regards,
Robert Marko

Thanks, checked with ath10k-bdencoder and its correct.
