[PATCH v7 1/1] Bluetooth: btqca: move WCN7850 workaround to the caller

[Shuai Zhang]

WCN7850 will first attempt to use ELF_TYPE_PATCH,
and if that fails, it will fall back to TLV_TYPE_PATCH.

To code uniformity, move WCN7850 workaround to the caller.

I thought the second one had already been reviewed, so I didn’t need to 
submit it.

Do I need to submit a new version that includes both patches?

How else would it be merged if it is not submitted in the latest
version of the series?
Have you read Documentation/process/ ? Especially submitting-patches.rst?

again.
