The WRE6066, has in contrast to other ip40xx devices, has only 128MB system RAM.
This results in OOM situations and instability, to circumvent this we need
to use ath10k-smallbuffers.

(cherry picked from commit a7a0257f6f)
Use the candelatech firmware for the QCA Wave-2 firmware.
The Qualcomm firmware used for the IPQ401x chip in OpenWrt in 22.03
is experiencing heavily degraded performance due to excessive
retransmits when using A-MSDU. Disabling VHT modes or switching to the
candelatech firmware circumvents this issue.
Apply the same to other Wave-2 platforms in order to keep consistency
with upstream.
Wave-1 chips do not support mesh modes with the -ct firmware, so keep
using the QCA firmware in their case.

This device is a dual 5GHz device. It is recommended to manually change the
radio of the first device to the lower 5GHz channels and the second radio
to the upper 5GHz channels
This commit assigns class-flags to devices. The following scheme is
used:
- ath9k & ath10k: tiny if RAM <128M
- ath10k & ath10k: tiny if RAM <256M
- all: tiny if RAM <64M
- all: tiny if flash <8M
All other devices automatically have the default device-class selected.
The Aruba Instant On AP11 is the Aruba AP-303 with a stripped-down
firmware. Add an alias for the device to remove confusion about the
different naming.
