pre-init fw_name in btbcm_initialize by hw id

btbcm can use uninitialized stack fw_name to try & report firmware. fw_name
first declared in hci_bcm.c bcm_setup(), must be filled in btbcm.c
btbcm_initialize().

Real hw: Lenovo Thinkpad 10 2nd, device BCM4354A2, uart. It defined later for
USB, but IMHO in this tablet it assembled on different wifi/bt/buses
combination, so calling uart from btattach cause messages like "BCM: Patch ...
not found", where "..." random stack garbage. I solve this problem by simple
init fw_name in btbcm.c. Unsure about style of this patch (it can cause too
agnostic silent firmware usage on new devices), but it just work for my device
- after googling & renaming BCM4354A2.hcd to BCM-unknown-uart-230f-2.hcd, so I
even don't try to add & report device ID to bcm_uart_subver_table (like
bcm_usb_subver_table).

PS I don't deep analyze a bit changed linux-next, but quick looks same (patch
fuzzy applied). Patch for 4.14.rc8. Also I don't check btbcm_setup_patchram()
for same problem.
