Public bug reported:
[Impact]
Some platforms may keep USB power in S3/S4/S5, so Realtek 8821C retains
its firmware even with a cold boot.
[Fix]
Use vendor command to drop firmware if the version is old.
[Test case]
Use dmesg to check if new firmware is loaded.
With the patch applied, we can find new firmware is loaded.
[Where problems could occur]
There's a 200ms delay which can slow down when BT controller is opened
by userspace first time.
