The bootloader records init sequence progress and debug info in four
core debug registers, useful for debugging FW download failures.
Add btintel_get_rom_debug_info() to issue BTINTEL_GET_ROM_DEBUG_INFO
(0xfcde) and log these registers, invoked from the error path in
btintel_prepare_fw_download_tlv() before resetting to the bootloader.
Tested by corrupting the operational firmware file to force a
download timeout; the driver logged the debug registers on each
failure and retry, e.g.:
Bluetooth: hci0: Firmware loading timeout
Bluetooth: Intel get rom debug info: dr0:0x80000001 dr1:0x00000000 dr2:0x00000001 dr3:0x00df0071
