David Bauer authoredUse 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. Signed-off-by:

-- The QCA9980 was discontinued by Qualcomm. It didn't receive any firmware-update for over 4 years.
-- See https://github.com/kvalo/ath10k-firmware/tree/master/QCA99X0/hw2.0
-- 802.11s was never implemented for the chip's firmware. It will most likely be broken forever.
-- The QCA9984 on the other hand works fine for 11s meshes on both bands.
