[PATCH v2 2/2] Bluetooth: btbcm: Add Synaptics 4384 chip support

[Kaihsin Chung]

Add support for the Synaptics 4384 Bluetooth controller
by adding the corresponding chip IDs.

Tested on the VIM3 platform. Verified that the controller initializes
successfully and that firmware loading and basic Bluetooth operation
work as expected.

The VIM3 is a Khadas single-board computer that I used as the host
platform for testing the BCM4384 Bluetooth controller.

Both paragraphs could be merged:

Tested on the Khades single-board computer VIM3. Verified that the 
controller initializes successfully and that firmware loading and basic 
Bluetooth operation work as expected.

Note, the author field uses a different address. It would be better if 
they matched I would suggest to use the synaptics.com address.

What about A0? It’s not added in the hunks above. Please add a comment
