[PATCH 3/3] wifi: ath10k: only load compatible DT cal data

Loading calibration data from an OF device tree node not declared
compatible with the device (e.g. a PCI device with calibration data
from corresponding DT node gets replaced, so the newly installed
device become incompatible with the node) or driver may lead to fatal
result, e.g. kernel panic.

The driver should check whether the DT node corresponding to the
device compatible with it, and load calibration data only from
compatible node.
