Need because of the product needs or need because of the existing
firmware not working with the chip?
Wait... your WiFi colleagues were more helpful and they wrote that "it
has different RF,
IPA, thermal, RAM size and etc, so new firmware files used." ([1]).
Please include that information in your commit messages too to let
reviewers understand  what is going on.

If you want to emphasise that it is not just WCN6855, extend schema to
use fallback compatibles:
compat = "qcom,qca6698-bt", "qcom,wcn6855-bt"; No driver changes are
necessary with this approach.
