Subject: [PATCH v5 2/2] Bluetooth: btqca: Add WCN6855 firmware priority selection feature

Historically, WCN685x and QCA2066 shared the same firmware files.
Now, changes are planned for the firmware that will make it incompatible
with QCA2066, so a new firmware name is required for WCN685x.

Test Steps:
 - Boot device
 - Check the BTFW loading status via dmesg

Sanity pass and Test Log:
QCA Downloading qca/wcnhpbftfw21.tlv
Direct firmware load for qca/wcnhpbftfw21.tlv failed with error -2
QCA Downloading qca/hpbftfw21.tlv
