I was thinking about the following scenario:
- BT firmware is attempted to load during driver probe, /lib/firmware is
not fully populated, so the config is rewritten to use the default
- rootfs is fully mounted and populated with the board-specific file
- BT interface is being turned on. It is expected that the
board-specific file will be loaded, however because the config was
changed in one of the previous steps, the driver still loads the
default one.
That said, the driver should perform the fallback, etc, but the config
should stay intact even in the fallback case.

Good. I think it's safe to safe board_id to 0xffff by default, then you
don't have to handle '0' specially.
