docs: document tested TP-Link 2357:0147 unit and scope MCU-revision claims

Per review: distinguish the tested hardware revision (this unit:
chip_id=7, chip_sub_id=1, chip_mcu_id=1) from any assumption that every
device with this VID/PID is MCU1. The ID-table entry only routes to the
DC path; mcu gating is runtime.

Tested on Linux kernel 6.16 with Ubuntu 25.04 and 6.1.0.27 with Debian 12.
The same driver supports Wi-Fi-only adapters and Wi-Fi/Bluetooth combo
