Introduce 'firmware-name' property to allow end-users and/or integrators to
decide which usecase-specific firmware to run on the WCN7850 platform. This
is necessary due to resource limitations such as memory capacity and CPU
capability, or performance and power optimization for different application
scenarios.

Currently, there are two firmwares, both files can be executed
interchangeably.
For example:

- ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/amss.bin,
   ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/m3.bin
   ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/board-2.bin

- ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/ncm825/amss.bin,
   ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/ncm825/m3.bin
   ath12k/WCN7850/hw2.0/board-2.bin

The former is the default firmware, suitable for most WiFi 7 STA functions.
The latter adds support for commercial-quality SAP and optimizes power
consumption for IoT applications. And both use the same BDF/regdb data
within the main board-2.bin.

Tested-on: WCN7850 hw2.0 PCI WLAN.HMT.1.0.c5-00481-QCAHMTSWPL_V1.0_V2.0_SILICONZ-3
