[PATCH v2 1/8] Bluetooth: btmtk: Add MT6639 (MT7927) Bluetooth support

The MediaTek MT7927 (Filogic 380) combo WiFi 7 + BT 5.4 module uses
hardware variant 0x6639 for its Bluetooth subsystem. Without this patch,
the chip fails with "Unsupported hardware variant (00006639)" or hangs
during firmware download.

Three changes are needed to support MT6639:

1. CHIPID workaround: On some boards the BT USB MMIO register reads
   0x0000 for dev_id, causing the driver to skip the 0x6639 init path.
   Force dev_id to 0x6639 when it reads zero, matching the equivalent
   WiFi-side workaround that forces chip=0x7927.

2. Firmware naming: MT6639 uses firmware version prefix "2_1" instead of
   "1_1" used by MT7925 and other variants. The firmware path is
   mediatek/mt6639/BT_RAM_CODE_MT6639_2_1_hdr.bin.

3. Section filtering: The MT6639 firmware binary contains 9 sections, but
   only sections with (dlmodecrctype & 0xff) == 0x01 are Bluetooth-related.
   Sending the remaining WiFi/other sections causes an irreversible BT
   subsystem hang requiring a full power cycle. This matches the Windows
   driver behavior observed via USB captures.

Also add 0x6639 to the reset register (CONNV3) and firmware setup switch
cases alongside the existing 0x7925 handling.
