Bug description:
  Board Data File (BDF) is loaded upon driver boot-up procedure. The right
  board data file is identified, among others, by device and sybsystem ids.

  The problem, however, can occur when the (default) board data file cannot
  fulfill with the vendor requirements and it is necessary to use a different
  board data file.

  To solve the issue QCA uses SMBIOS type 0xF8 to store Board Data File Name
  Extension to specify the extension/variant name. The driver will take the
  extension suffix into consideration and will load the right (non-default)
  board data file if necessary.
