* description for what hardware this is:

  - it is a QCA6174A based radio used for wi-fi in Surface Go and various other laptops

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

  - Taken from Killer Networking's website:
    https://support.killernetworking.com/knowledge-base/installing-the-killer-wireless-ac-1535-in-steamos/

    https://support.killernetworking.com/K1535_Debian/board.bin

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

  - QCA6174 hw3.2

    + bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=168c,subsystem-device=3370

Some more information:

It's been a very common workaround that's spread out by word of mouth. I'm not
sure why nobody upstreamed it yet.

Here's the output from the driver without the board:

Here's some more discussion on how the Killer board was found:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1651779#c1

It's likely that this also fixes wifi on Surface Laptop 3 AMD since users have
been using an identical workaround.

Note: It's also recommended to enable ignore-otp for this board. Not sure if it
actually helps or not though.

Hi Kalle, are you still taking board file submissions? I saw that no newly submitted board files were merged in 2020.

I am, it's just that they are currently on the bottom of my todo list :/

There's now a board file for these ids:

BoardNames[85]: 'bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=168c,subsystem-device=3370'
BoardLength[85]: 8124
BoardCRC32[85]: c8f42334
BoardMD5[85]: bc52aa5640b27fa50f9d4d144f81e169

I assume it's the same one so I'm dropping this request.
