    ipq40xx: switch Wave2 firmware to -ct (#2541) · 15ef8858
    David Bauer authored
    
    Use the candelatech firmware for the QCA Wave-2 firmware.
    
    The Qualcomm firmware used for the IPQ401x chip in OpenWrt in 22.03
    is experiencing heavily degraded performance due to excessive
    retransmits when using A-MSDU. Disabling VHT modes or switching to the
    candelatech firmware circumvents this issue.
    
    Apply the same to other Wave-2 platforms in order to keep consistency
    with upstream.
    
    Wave-1 chips do not support mesh modes with the -ct firmware, so keep
    using the QCA firmware in their case.
