Add a brcm,nvram_file_name dt property to allow overruling the default
nvram filename for sdio devices. The idea is that we can specify a
board specific nvram file, e.g. brcmfmac43362-ap6210.txt for boards
with an ap6210 wifi sdio module and ship this in linux-firmware, so
that wifi will work out of the box, without requiring users to find
and then manually install the right nvram file for their board.
Directly defining a filename doesn't seem like a good OS-agnostic
approach. Maybe an alternative would be to add a model-property to the
nodes (this is allowed) and make brcmfmac to request
"FWFILENAME-<model>" as firmware if set? That would leave it to the OS
on how the filename is set.
It only defines the base-filename, not the entire path, how / where
this file is searched for / loaded-from is then left up to the os
