Bluetooth: hci_qca: Fix SSR (SubSystem Restart) fail when BT_EN is pulled up by hw



On QCS9075 and QCA8275 platforms, the BT_EN pin is always pulled up by hw
and cannot be controlled by the host. As a result, in case of a firmware
crash, the host cannot trigger a cold reset. Instead, the BT controller
performs a warm restart on its own, without reloading the firmware.

This leads to the controller remaining in IBS_WAKE state, while the host
expects it to be in sleep mode. The mismatch causes HCI reset commands
to time out. Additionally, the driver does not clear internal flags
QCA_SSR_TRIGGERED and QCA_IBS_DISABLED, which blocks the reset sequence.
If the SSR duration exceeds 2 seconds, the host may enter TX sleep mode
due to tx_idle_timeout, further preventing recovery. Also, memcoredump_flag
is not cleared, so only the first SSR generates a coredump.

Tell the driver that the BT controller has undergone a proper restart sequence:

- Clear QCA_SSR_TRIGGERED and QCA_IBS_DISABLED flags after SSR.
- Add a 50ms delay to allow the controller to complete its warm reset.
- Reset tx_idle_timer to prevent the host from entering TX sleep mode.
- Clear memcoredump_flag to allow multiple coredump captures.

Apply these steps only when HCI_QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP is not set,
which indicates that BT_EN is defined in DTS and cannot be toggled.

Refer to the comment in include/net/bluetooth/hci.h for details on
HCI_QUIRK_NON_PERSISTENT_SETUP.
