[PATCH 2/2] Bluetooth: btbcm: disable read tx power for BeagleV-Ahead

The bluetooth module of the Ampak AP6203BM is identified by the btbcm
driver as BCM4362A2.

The firmware of the bluetooth module on the BeagleV-Ahead reports a
capability of reading LE tx power. However reading fails. To get
bluetooth working it is necessary to disable reading of LE tx power on
the BeagleV-Ahead board. The disable is implemented in a similar way as
for several Apple boards but uses the board compatible identification
from the DTB as there is no DMI.
