Another option is to follow the downstream driver model and only expect this
based upon static configuration within the driver.

Downstream driver has:
	if (priv->device_id == ADRASTEA_DEVICE_ID) {
		ret = wlfw_msa_mem_info_send_sync_msg(priv);
		ret = wlfw_msa_ready_send_sync_msg(priv);
	}

https://git.codelinaro.org/clo/la/platform/vendor/qcom-opensource/wlan/platform/-/blob/wlan-platform.lnx.1.0.r4-rel/icnss2/main.c?ref_type=heads#L968

The downstream MSA logic (including some other code that populates MSA-related
fields in the QMI messages) is only invoked for ADRASTEA_DEVICE_ID.

We could introduce a new hw_params parameter to have the same semantics.

But I'm OK with the DT option as well.

Kalle?
