Accidentally sent that reply to internal mailing list. So quoting myself here:

"""
Shaking the tree helps ;-) What is meant by "OTP/SPROM is provided 
on-flash"? I assume you mean that it is on the host side and the wifi PCIe 
device can not access it when it gets powered up. Maybe for this scenario 
we should have a devicetree compatible to configure the device id, but that 
does not help any current users of these platforms. Thanks for providing 
this info.
"""

Arend
