To avoid the firmware loading race between Bluetooth and WiFi on Intel
8260, load firmware exclusively when BT_INTEL is enabled.

Signed-off-by: Kai-Heng Feng <redacted>

Still the commit log tells nothing about the actual problem which makes
review impossible.

Sorry for that. The first two patches [1] only sends to linux-bluetooth and LMKL.

For a patchset like this you should CC linux-wireless for all patches,
otherwise people just get confused. And even more so as patch 3 seems to
depend on the other patches.

I don’t know what really happened at hardware/firmware level, but
making btusb and iwlwifi load firmware sequentially can workaround the
issue.

We don't apply ugly workarounds without understanding the issue.

Matt Chen may be able to explain this issue with more detail.

Then you need to work with Matt so that the issue is properly explained
in the commit log.

linux-bluetooth was not CCed, adding that.
