I'm not aware of the case where a fw (hyp/tz) difference means you
don't have zap shader on any a5xx device.  But seeing it on a6xx made
me realize that this is really more about the fw than the hw.  Which
is something that I didn't realize when the a5xx zap support initially
landed.

I think what I'd do for now is, instead of if (adreno_is_XYZ() ||
adreno_is_ABC() || ...) { skip_zap }, I'd change that to if
(!has_zap_node)..  and for the dts files we should start adding the
zap node in device specific .dts files.

Also I suppose we might need to slightly change where we load the zap
fw, ie. we can skip trying to load zap fw in the !has_zap_node case.
