Introduce 'firmware-name' property to allow end-users and/or integrators to decide which usecase-specific firmware to run on the WCN6855. This is necessary due to resource limitations such as memory capacity and CPU capability, or performance and power optimization for different application scenarios. Currently, there are two firmwares, both files can be executed interchangeably. For example: - ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/amss.bin, ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/m3.bin ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/board-2.bin - ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/nfa765/amss.bin, ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/nfa765/m3.bin ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.0/board-2.bin The former is the default firmware, suitable for most WiFi 6 STA functions. The latter adds support for commercial-quality SAP and optimizes power consumption for IoT applications. And both use the same BDF/regdb data within the main board-2.bin.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
