Revert "BACKPORT: ath10k: search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension"
This reverts commit d6462c3f8e977897e6e67dd43bb5b4c3eac3be75.
Reason for revert: b:120112668
Original change's description:
> BACKPORT: ath10k: search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension
>
> Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
> board data file is identified, among others, by device and sybsystem ids.
>
> The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
> fulfill with the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
> board data file.
>
> To solve the issue QCA uses SMBIOS type 0xF8 to store Board Data File Name
> Extension to specify the extension/variant name. The driver will take the
> extension suffix into consideration and will load the right (non-default)
> board data file if necessary.
>
> If it is unnecessary to use extension board data file, please leave the
> SMBIOS field blank and default configuration will be used.
>
> Example:
> If a default board data file for a specific board is identified by a string
> "bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=1028,
> subsystem-device=0310"
> then the OEM specific data file, if used, could be identified by variant
> suffix:
> "bus=pci,vendor=168c,device=003e,subsystem-vendor=1028,
> subsystem-device=0310,variant=DE_1AB"
>
> If board data file name extension is set but board-2.bin does not contain
> board data file for the variant, the driver will fallback to the default
> board data file not to break backward compatibility.
>
> This was first applied in commit f2593cb1b291 ("ath10k: Search SMBIOS for OEM
> board file extension") but later reverted in commit 005c3490e9db ("Revert
> "ath10k: Search SMBIOS for OEM board file extension"". This patch is now
> otherwise the same as commit f2593cb1b291 except the regression fixed.
