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 Regards, Hans
