[PATCH ath-next] wifi: ath12k: Use .mbn firmware for AHB devices

From: Aaradhana Sahu <hidden>
Date: 2026-03-06 03:23:07

Currently ath12k AHB devices request firmware in .mdt/.bxx split
format. AHB firmware is transitioning from the split format to a
single .mbn file.

Update ath12k to request q6_fw.mbn and iu_fw.mbn instead of q6_fw.mdt
iu_fw.mdt respectively.

Note: There is no impact to current devices since ath12k AHB support
is not yet complete and no AHB firmware files are currently present in
linux-firmware.

Tested-on: IPQ5332 hw1.0 AHB WLAN.WBE.1.7-00587-QCAHKSWPL_SILICONZ-1
