ath12k Driver and Firmware Integration

The ath12k driver has been optimized to support QCN9274-based Wi-Fi 7 solutions, offering robust compatibility with OpenWrt, Ubuntu, and other Linux distributions.

Developers can obtain the standard QCN9274 firmware and board data from the official CodeLinaro repositories:

• QCN9274/hw2.0 firmware tree:
  https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware/-/tree/main/QCN9274/hw2.0
• QCN9274/hw2.0 WLAN.WBE.1.5-01651 release:
  https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/ath-firmware/ath12k-firmware/-/tree/main/QCN9274/hw2.0/1.5/WLAN.WBE.1.5-01651-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
  

⚙️ Note:
Wallys DR9274 uses customized board data configuration, which differs slightly from the Qualcomm reference design.
To ensure proper driver recognition and RF calibration, the Wallys-specific board data must be integrated into the ath12k firmware package.
