Subject: [PATCH] ath10k: Introduce a devicetree quirk to skip host cap QMI requests

There are firmware versions which do not support host capability
QMI request. We suspect either the host cap is not implemented or
there may be firmware specific issues, but apparently there seem
to be a generation of firmware that has this particular behavior.

For example, firmware build on Xiaomi Poco F1 (sdm845) phone:
"QC_IMAGE_VERSION_STRING=WLAN.HL.2.0.c3-00257-QCAHLSWMTPLZ-1"

If we do not skip the host cap QMI request on Poco F1, then we
get a QMI_ERR_MALFORMED_MSG_V01 error message in the
ath10k_qmi_host_cap_send_sync(). But this error message is not
fatal to the firmware nor to the ath10k driver and we can still
bring up the WiFi services successfully if we just ignore it.

Hence introducing this DeviceTree quirk to skip host capability
QMI request for the firmware versions which do not support this
feature.
