soc: ti: add firmware file name as part of the driver
Currently firmware file name is included in the DTS. This is not scalable as user has to change the DTS if they need upgrade to a new firmware. Instead, add the firmware file name in the driver itself. As long as there is no API change, new firmware upgrade is easy and require no driver change. User is expected to copy the firmware image to the file system and add a sym link to the new firmware for doing an upgrade. Driver add a array of firmware file names to search for the available firmware blobs. This scheme also prepare the driver for future changes to API if ever happens. In such case it is assumed that driver needs to change to accommodate the new firmware and new firmware file name will get added to the array. Also update the DT document to remove the firmware attribute and add description about firmware in the driver documentation.
