the tplink archer c7 v1 indeed has this hw 1 version. but thats the only
device i know comming with this chipset version
but the v1 has also a minipcie slot and is not soldered like all other
revisions. so i just replaced the card on my test device.
in addition we may ask ben grear if he is able to provide a v1 firmware
from his ct tree since the qca sourcecodes do contain support
for the v1 revision. but dont expect too much. there was a reason why v1
was never really on the market

According to this very old post
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/ath10k/2013-July/000021.html
seems like you've been misinformed on amount of these cards that were
put out in the market.
At least digipart only have >40000 units in stocks
https://www.digipart.com/part/QCA9880-AR1A and other retailers
probably few thousands more.
With that large amount of cards I think it is justified to request
firmware support for the chip. And probably a lot easier to make few
firmware modifications than go hacking a bunch of API calls so it
works with v2 firmware.
I'm very surprised that QCA9880 hw1.0 boards are still available, after
six years. Did you confirm that it really is hw1.0 and not just some
mixup with hardware ids or something like that?
Print on the chip clearly says QCA9880-AR1A. ID same as for v2 - 003C.
old hw1.0 firmware to see if it works.
I don't know which fw blob version that is. I could not find it
online. All files are v2 related.
But if it's really is hw1.0 I doubt there will be any support for that.
I recommend to avoid hw1.0 altogether.

That would be too bad, even worse when you find out that
qca-wifi-10.2.4.58.1 driver fails to load firmware too. The only one
that works is qca-wifi that comes with tp-link firmware, some very
early version 10.0.108 or somtehing like that that has no available
sources..
