Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Bluetooth: btmrvl: report error if verify_fw_download times out.

FW does the synchronization of the different modules during init.
It will report different modules, that it is ready at different times.
The fw download 'winner' will be reported fw ready first. Without this
patch, btmrvl was already continuing before the FW told it too. Probably
on behalf of the 'winner' which then never sees FW ready and times out.

Can we have a proper error code here?

No need to rename this label, it is doing almost the same thing as before.
