Subject: [PATCH net-next v2 5/5] net: ipa: permit GSI firmware loading to be skipped

Define a new value "skip" for the "qcom,gsi-loader" Device Tree
property.  If used, it indicates that neither the AP nor the modem
need to load GSI firmware (because it has already been loaded--for
example by the boot loader).
