Make WCN6855 work in 5.16.0

Hi,

I found recently that WCN6855 even with the latest firmware doesn't work on 5.16.  As a result of not working it causes failures during suspend: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=215504

However the reason that wireless isn't working in 5.16.0 is because the way to find the board IDs in the firmware binary needs modification.  I can confirm that it's able to parse once
commit fc95d10ac41d75c14a81afcc8722333d8b2cf80f ("ath11k: add string type to search board data in board-2.bin for WCN6855") is backported and that avoids the suspend bug (that otherwise still occurs when no firmware found and should separately be fixed) so I think this is a good candidate to come back to 5.16.y.

Thanks,
