Hi Kalle,
I have sent v3 of "ath11k: add read variant from SMBIOS for download
board data", it fixed the backwards compatibility issue.

ath11k: add fallback board name without variant while searching
board-2.bin

Maybe this patch is good for 6855, but 6390 in Dell seems to be killed
completely with it. Reverting it makes things work again.

Doh, I didn't realise that. I only tested this on my NUC testbox, I
should have tested this on my XPS 13 9310 as well. Thanks for the
report!
I think I need to revert this and rethink how to handle the backwards
compatibility.
