So it's just Mikrotik changing hardware IDs to persuade people from using custom firmware, I hope this gets figured out soon
It seems the ERD data in the decompressed LZO data contains two chunks, one with ID 0x8201 and one with ID 0x8001.
If I force it to use the 0x8001 chunk I can see and use the 2.4GHz radio, if I force the 0x8201 chunk I can see the 5GHz radio (but am so far unable to connect to it).
EDIT:
Seems the 0x8001 chunk contains the calibration data for the 2.4GHz radio at offset 0x0, while the 0x8201 chunk contains the calibration data for the 5GHz radio at offset 0x0.
I was able to get both radios working by extracting the data to two files and using those in 11-ath10k-caldata. It should be possible to do it in rb_hardconfig.c by testing for the ID but I did not get that working.

I made a quick hack in the rb_hardconfig driver (patch) to have it work on my hardware.
You can find the build here.
I'm not sure what can go wrong if the caldata is not good, so use at your own risk.

Can confirm that this also works fine for stealing neighbor's WiFi (aka client mode) just kidding 
Installed @pde's build yesterday over ROS (and RouterBOARD) 7.1beta 2. Initramfs worked fine, but it doesn't want to boot the flashed firmware unless I use the other bootloader (by holding down reset first).
Can't use netinstall either, been trying a dozen versions and only the 7.1beta 2 one got me as far as "sending offer" but no further.
@robimarko Are the builds incompatible with the 7.1beta 2 bootloader or did I flash it wrong or something?
I dont know if ROS7 is incompatible as I have not tried it
I downgraded to ROS 6.4X (DoH was not available in v7) some time before installing OpenWRT on my unit. Did you upgraded the Routerboard firmware after installing ROS 7? If so can you get to Netinstall ROS 7 and downgrade to 6.4X?
@geminis3 Yes, I upgraded the RouterBOARD firmware right after I upgraded to ROS 7. Currently trying to use netinstall with no success so far, the device shows up but it's not installing the firmware.
Netinstall is very tricky, I had to disable all the network interfaces on my laptop to recover my router from a sudden brick with ROS. It said installing and immediately stopped, after an hour of tinkering it said erasing device and then the router came back to life.
Edit try to use ROS 6.47.2 npk firmware for Netinstall
I actually installed from 6.45.9. For Windows you can setup Hyper-V and install another Windows in it. Then netinstall only has one single network interface card and will work without any issues.
Are there any plans to achieve an officical OpenWrt firmware branch for MikroTik hAP ac2?

Finally managed to get back to ROS after 3 days of troubleshooting.
OpenWRT was pretty nice but I had to go back, it was severely limiting my gigabit PPPoE connection. Even with the software flow offloading turned on and with performance governor selected for the CPU I was only hitting about 430 Mbps down, which unfortunately is less than half my usual speed. (1 of the cores was basically maxed out downloading or uploading)

The PR is stalled because Routerboot can't boot an ELF image so a stripped down copy of U-Boot was added as a workaround but that can't be merged into mainline.
Just wondering if this router is able of doing gigabit PPPoE with ROS (fasttrack I guess)?
