mox-support: remove two firmware files which are not required

Josef Schlehofer requested to merge hotfix/mox-sdio-less-firmware-files into master
These two firmware files were added in this commit 73a39987946b1c54a4c3c4241c0c1dcc42e992e6 ("mox-support: Update WiFi firmware")
without any description. Also, they are not used. I removed it from the
router and it works.

By default, mwifiex and btmrvl are looking for mrvl/sd8997_uapsta.bin
which is wrong as it should look for mrvl/sdsd8997_combo_v4.bin
And because of that, there is a symlink. Pali Rohár sent two fixes to
mailine kernel [1] [2], which fixes it, but it was backported to stable
versions of kernel 5.8, 5.7 and 5.4
