arm64: dts: qcom: sm8350-mtp: Use mdt files for firmware

As discussed in [1], it makes it easy for everyone to use mdt firmware file
name instead of mbn ones, so changes this for SM8350

I would rather think of your email as background material or trigger :)

We have had a discussion after the email thread and thought it is better
approach to stick to mdt format as used downstream and not have
confusion and issues resulting from upstream vs downstream

Since SM8350 is a new platform, so switching here onwards made sense,
hence this patch

I should have added more details for this in changelog as well...

Thanks
