These two possible configurations in DT to specific the NVM file. 

In the existing driver implementation, the firmware-name will specify a 
exactly nvm file. Driver will loaded it directory. But on some platform, 
we may attach different board, then need load the board-specific nvm. 
 
We assume if the nvm file has an extension, user should know the exactly 
connectivity board to attach to the platform, then the exactly nvm file 
will be loaded. This keeps back compatible.
 
If user think different connectivity boards will be attached to the 
platform, the nvm should depends on the board id. Then just leave the 
extension empty. Driver will append the board id info as extension.

Normally, there is a default NVM file ending with .bin, which is suitable 
for most boards. However, some boards have different configurations that 
require a specific NVM. If a board-specific NVM is not found, a default 
NVM is preferred over not loading any NVM.

> b) why would we want to specify the .bin file if it's the default anyway?
The default NVM directory is the root of qca. The 'firmware-name' property 
can specify an NVM file in another directory. This can be either a default 
NVM like 'QCA6698/hpnv21.bin' or a board-specific NVM like 'QCA6698/hpnv21.b205'.

Ack. This means the chip is produced by GlobalFoundries.
