to be maintained in this repo.

`board.bin` file.
The derivative in `firmware/surface-go/ath10k/` can configure this, if you set the option
`config.hardware.microsoft-surface.firmware.surface-go-ath10k.enable` to `true`.
`config.hardware.microsoft-surface.firmware.surface-go-ath10k.replace` to `true`.
Note that this is slightly destructive, as it deletes all the `board.bin` and `board-2.bin` files
for the `ath10k` QCA6174 device, and replaces them with KillerNetworking's version.
_*NOTE:*_ This is destructive, as it deletes all the `board.bin` and `board-2.bin` files for the

This is the only way (currently) to force the driver to use the new firmware.
For more details, see: https://github.com/linux-surface/linux-surface/wiki/Surface-Go#wifi-firmware
There was an attempt to get this firmware incorporated into the aggregate `board-2.bin`,
_*NOTE:*_ There's some work to patch the kernel to make it easier to override which firmware file
to use for QCA6174, which would obviate this more-destructuve approach:
