[PATCH v2 15/21] ath10k: support CT firmware flag.

From: Ben Greear Add placeholder so CT firmware can more easily co-exist with upstream kernel. CT firmware should be backwards compatible with existing kernels, but it also has many new features. Subsequent patches, if acceptable for upstream, can enable and further
