I discussed with internal team, look like devices that reserve channel 
doorbell 91 for EDL, thier MHIVER register value can still be 1.0 instead
of 1.2. So even if we add a flag called mhi_ver to store the value read 
from the MHIVER register. We still can not do EDL support check depend 
on it.

But I still think enter EDL mode by writing EDL cookie to channel 
doorbell is a standard way. At least it's a standard way from MHI spec V1.2.

In mhi_controller, we have a variable edl_image representing the name 
and path of firmware. But We still can not determine if the device reserve
channel doorbell 91 by checking this because some devices may enter EDL 
mode in different way. Mayebe we have to add a flag in mhi_controller
called edl_support to do the check.
