Rafał Miłecki a8cc06c537 mac80211: brcmfmac: backport firmware loading changes & fix memory bugs
This pick most of brcmfmac changes backported into the master in commits
5932eb690f ("mac80211: brcmfmac: backport firmware loading cleanup")
3eab6b8275 ("mac80211: brcmfmac: backport NVRAM loading improvements")
529c95cc15 ("mac80211: brcmfmac: fix use-after-free & possible NULL pointer dereference")

It's more than would be normally backported into a stable branch but it
seems required. Firmware loading cleanups are needed to allow fix memory
bugs in a reliable way. Memory fixes are really important to avoid
corrupting memory and risking a NULL pointer dereference.

Hopefully this stuff has received enough testing in the master.

Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: Add support for first trying to get a board
specific nvram file
The nvram files which some brcmfmac chips need are board-specific. To be
able to distribute these as part of linux-firmware, so that devices with
such a wifi chip will work OOTB, multiple (one per board) versions must
co-exist under /lib/firmware.
This commit adds support for callers of the brcmfmac/firmware.c code to
pass in a board_type parameter through the request structure.
If that parameter is set then the code will first try to load
chipmodel.board_type.txt before falling back to the old chipmodel.txt name.
