The IMC Networks Bluetooth controller with USB ID 13d3:3558 uses an
RTL8821CE. Without BTUSB_REALTEK, btusb uses generic initialization and
does not load the controller firmware. BLE connections then fail before
pairing with HCI error 0x3e.
Add the device ID to the RTL8821CE table. This enables loading
rtl_bt/rtl8821c_fw.bin and rtl_bt/rtl8821c_config.bin, after which a
BLE HID keyboard pairs successfully.

Tested on a CachyOS 7.1.6 kernel with BlueZ 5.87 and a Corsair K65
Plus BLE keyboard.
