[PATCH] wifi: mt76: mt7921: skip unknown CLC firmware records

Treat an out-of-range CLC index as newer firmware rather than a
malformed image. linux-firmware 20260810 ships MT7922 records with
idx 3, and rejecting them made mt7921e fail to probe.

Keep the record-length checks, and report those as errors so a
truncated table is visible instead of a silent retry loop.
