ar71xx: Remove ath10k packages from archer-c7-v1 (fixes FS#1743)
ath10k_pci driver crashes once loaded and causes boot loops on this device as 5GHz radio QCA9880-AR1A shipped with this router is broken. It's not possible to fix this problem in software, miniPCIe radio has to be replaced. We could've probably fixed crashing of the ath10k driver by reverting following upstream commit: commit 1a7fecb766c83dace747f42b25bbb544b00a0163 Author: Michal Kazior <michal.kazior@tieto.com> Date: Sat Jan 24 12:14:48 2015 +0200 ath10k: reset chip before reading chip_id in probe but it's not worth the effort as it wouldn't make that 5GHz radio usable anyway. So it seems more convenient to just remove the crashing driver and provide bootable images, as I believe, that a router that is working but degraded is better than a router that will not work.
