Daniel Pawlik 561e3cf678 mediatek: device tree overlay for BPI-R4 with BE14 module
Some Banana Pi BPI-R4 BE14 WiFi modules are shipped with zeroed
tx_power fields in EEPROM (2G/5G/6G). This leads to low transmit power
on affected bands.
This overlay provides known-good EEPROM data (including correct tx_power
values for 2G/5G/6G bands) dumped from a working BE14 module.

To enable BE14 overlay, add into u-boot bootconf_extra
parameter: 'mt7988a-bananapi-bpi-r4-wifi-be14'.
You can use example script:

    overlay="mt7988a-bananapi-bpi-r4-wifi-be14"
    current="$(fw_printenv -n bootconf_extra 2>/dev/null)"
    if [ -n "${current}" ]; then
        fw_setenv bootconf_extra "${current}#${overlay}"
    else
        fw_setenv bootconf_extra "${overlay}"
    fi

Earlier proposal proposed in [1] was fallback to default values if
invalid EEPROM content is detected.
