Subject: [PATCH v2 ath-current 2/2] dt-bindings: net: wireless: ath11k-pci: remove obsolete firmware-name property

The firmware-name property was introduced to allow end-users and
integrators to select usecase specific firmware for the WCN6855.
However, specifying firmware for an M.2 WLAN module in the Device
Tree is not appropriate. Instead, this functionality will be handled
within the ath11k driver.

The driver has removed all support for firmware-name, and no upstream
Device Tree files reference this property. Therefore, this patch
removes the property from the binding and marks it as obsolete.

This is a DT ABI-breaking change, but safe since there are no in-tree
users.
