[OE-core] [PATCH 2/2] linux-firmware: TI: fix wl18xx support

wl1271-nvs.bin belongs to the wl18xx driver (and respective
package created here), see kernel source.
Due to the way packages are assembled here it ends up in the
wrong package, though.

Fix by placing it in the -common package as it's merely a
symlink to wl127x-nvs.bin (which does belong to the wl12xx),
so that both drivers have access to it.
