[v2] Revert "Bluetooth: btusb: mediatek: reset the controller before downloading the fw"

This reverts commit ccfc8948d7e4d93cab341a99774b24586717d89a.

The MediaTek Bluetooth controller reset that was added increases the
Bluetooth device setup time from ~200ms to ~20s and interferes with
other devices on the bus.

Three users (with Focusrite Scarlett 2nd Gen 6i6 and 3rd Gen Solo and
4i4 audio interfaces) reported that since 6.11 (which added this
commit) their audio interface fails to initialise if connected during
boot. Two of the users confirmed they have an MT7922.

Errors like this are observed in dmesg for the audio interface:

  usb 3-4: parse_audio_format_rates_v2v3(): unable to find clock source (clock -110)
  usb 3-4: uac_clock_source_is_valid(): cannot get clock validity for id 41
  usb 3-4: clock source 41 is not valid, cannot use

The problem only occurs when both devices and kernel modules are
present and loaded during system boot, so it can be worked around by
connecting the audio interface after booting.

Hi all,

Sorry, I see that an identical patch has already been applied to
bluetooth-next
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/20250315022730.11071-1-hao.qin@mediatek.com/

While I'm glad the issue is being addressed, my original patch
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-bluetooth/Z8ybV04CVUfVAykH@m.b4.vu/
contained useful context and tags that didn't make it into the final
commit.

For getting this fix into current kernel releases 6.12/6.13/6.14, I
think the patch needs the "Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org" tag that was in
my original submission but missing from Hao's. Since this is causing
significant issues for users on kernels 6.11+ (audio interfaces
failing to work), it's important this gets backported.

Hao, is this something you can do? I think the instructions at
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v6.14/process/stable-kernel-rules.html#option-3
need to be followed, but I've not done this before.

Thanks,
Geoffrey.
