Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 2/4] wifi: ath10k: support board-specific firmware
 overrides

Different Qualcomm platforms using WCN3990 WiFI chip use SoC-specific
firmware versions with different features. For example firmware for
SDM845 doesn't use single-chan-info-per-channel feature, while firmware
for QRB2210 / QRB4210 requires that feature. Allow board DT files to
override the subdir of the fw dir used to lookup the firmware-N.bin file
decribing corresponding WiFi firmware.

For example:

- ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/wlanmdsp.mbn,
  ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/firmware-5.bin: main firmware files, used by default

- ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/qcm2290/wlanmdsp.mbn,
  ath10k/WCN3990/hw1.0/qcm2290/firmware-5.bin: SoC specific firmware
    with different signature and feature bits

Note, while board files lookup uses the same function and thus it is
possible to provide board-specific board-2.bin files, this is not
required in 99% of cases as board-2.bin already contains a way to
provide board-specific data with finer granularity than DT overrides.
