Apple platforms use a vendor-specific OTP area to store identification
information used to select the right firmware/txcap/clm/nvram blobs. See
6bad3eeab6d3d (already upstream) and the immediately preceding commits
for how this all works.

In principle this should just return gracefully if that part of the OTP
is empty, though when I originally wrote this code we only knew of Apple
platforms using these chips anyway. If you think this might possibly
introduce issues to other platforms using the same chips (e.g. if
reading the OTP fails outright for some reason), we could gate it on the
presence of a valid devinfo->settings->antenna_sku, which would indicate
an Apple platform (since that property is specific to the Apple
firmware-selection process and only populated on those platforms).
