udeb: Add qrtr_mhi to nic-wireless, for ath11k (Closes: #1032140)

Cyril Brulebois requested to merge kibi/linux:ath11k into sid

There's an unreviewed (so far) patch to add a soft-dep on qrtr_mhi, which was a nice hint: https://patchwork.kernel.org/project/linux-wireless/patch/20221202130600.883174-1-hch@lst.de/

Adding this module pulls both qrtr_mhi and qrtr into the udeb, and the submitter confirmed ath11k_pci now probes fine.

Regarding where to ship both modules, I've picked nic-wireless given the following Kconfig entries:

config QRTR
        tristate "Qualcomm IPC Router support"
        help
          Say Y if you intend to use Qualcomm IPC router protocol.  The
          protocol is used to communicate with services provided by other
          hardware blocks in the system.

          In order to do service lookups, a userspace daemon is required to
          maintain a service listing.

config QRTR_MHI
        tristate "MHI IPC Router channels"
        depends on MHI_BUS
        help
          Say Y here to support MHI based ipcrouter channels. MHI is the
          transport used for communicating to external modems.

and given QRTR_MHI is only select-ed by the ath11k and ath12k net wireless drivers.

Whether the module is actually working remains to be confirmed, I have uploaded a full ISO with both patched installer and the necessary firmware.
