Hopefully clear from context, but that was supposed to say "CRD" and not
"X13s"...

The sc8280xp CRD is the Qualcomm "compute" reference design for this
platform and is very similar to the X13s but they are not identical.

For ath11k and wcn6855, the CRD I have reports a chip_id of 2 and
"hw2.0", while the X13s reports chip_id 18 and "hw2.1".

The new board-2.bin notably adds two entries that match these chip_ids
but with the variant specified as "LE_X13S" for both.

Sounds good. Let's drop this one for now then.
