thanks for this @robimarko i had had .bin. fixed and complied correctly.
And also AP is showing wifi driver loaded! thank you :). Also huge thanks to @mrnuke for the contstant help with my first device towards openwrt!
Now i have no idea whats next?
Installation to flash ?
yes i have done this now. I do think we are missing something still for 5G to work?

That sounds like the same issue I had on EAP610-outdoor. Might need to modify the BDF to add a new regdb. See https://github.com/openwrt/openwrt/pull/14922#issuecomment-2050606914
maybe some one can assist here:
the board was extracted with ath11k-bdencoder, to provide "bus=ahb,qmi-chip-id=0,qmi-board-id=255,variant=TP-Link-EAP620HD-v2.bin"
i had gotten the regdb.bin from ea610-outdoor and put it in with ath11k_bdf_tool.py
now the question i have is how to create a new board-2.bin based off of this updated "bus=ahb,qmi-chip-id=0,qmi-board-id=255,variant=TP-Link-EAP620HD-v2.bin"
@mrnuke did you have eth0 show up for the eap610-outdoor or just this?

The way I understand the regdb change is that one works on the raw BDF (board.bin), then repackages it with ath11k-bdencoder. lan instead of eth0 is normal.
I think i manged to package it and test with the regdb of eap610-outdoor but seems like the regulatory rules are blocking it from working now?

i am now able to see both radios with "iw phy"
to add context, I think the included regdb of the extrated eap620hd-v2 bin also doesnt match to have channels allowed. Using that configuration gives the following:

so im just not sure what regdb to use or where to go to next
