remoteproc: mtk_scp: Construct FW path if firmware-name not present
After a reply on the mailing lists [1] it emerged that the DT property "firmware-name" should not be relied on because of possible issues with firmware versions. For MediaTek SCP, there has never been any firmware version vs driver version desync issue but, regardless, the firmwares are always using the same name and they're always located in a path with a specific pattern. Instead of unconditionally always relying on the firmware-name devicetree property to get a path to the SCP FW file, drivers should construct a name based on what firmware it knows and what hardware it is running on. In order to do that, add a `scp_get_default_fw_path()` function that constructs the path and filename based on two of the infos that the driver can get: 1. The compatible string with the highest priority (so, the first one at index 0); and 2. The type of SCP HW - single-core or multi-core. This means that the default firmware path is generated as: - Single core SCP: mediatek/(soc_model)/scp.img for example: mediatek/mt8183/scp.img; - Multi core SCP: mediatek/(soc_model)/scp_c(core_number).img for example: mediatek/mt8188/scp_c0.img for Core 0, and mediatek/mt8188/scp_c1.img for Core 1. Note that the generated firmware path is being used only if the "firmware-name" devicetree property is not present in the SCP node or in the SCP Core node(s).
