airoha: add the capability to read firmware names from dts

Browse source 
Introduce the capability to read the firmware binary names from device-tree
using the firmware-name property if available.
This is a preliminary patch to enable NPU offloading for MT7996 (Eagle)
chipset since it requires a different binary with respect to the one
used for MT7992 on the EN7581 SoC.

Subject: [PATCH] net: airoha: npu: Add the capability to read firmware names
from dts
Introduce the capability to read the firmware binary names from device-tree
using the firmware-name property if available.
This patch is needed because NPU firmware binaries are board specific since
they depend on the MediaTek WiFi chip used on the board (e.g. MT7996 or
MT7992) and the WiFi chip version info is not available in the NPU driver.
This is a preliminary patch to enable MT76 NPU offloading if the Airoha SoC
is equipped with MT7996 (Eagle) WiFi chipset.
