The firwmare now allows the driver to disable dummy
notifications. These notifications sent by the firmware
are an overhead for slow buses. They are still useful for
fast buses.
Add a hardware switch to prevent these notifications only
on devices that work on slow buses.

This code was broken on big endian systems. Sparse didn't
catch the bug since the firmware command was not tagged as
little endian.
Fix the bug for big endian systems and tag the field in the
firmware command to prevent such issues in the future.

Our legal structure changed at some point (see wikipedia), but
we forgot to immediately switch over to the new copyright
notice.
For files that we have modified in the time since the change,
add the proper copyright notice now.

This firmware is not supported any more.
A few code paths specific to old firmware can be removed.
We can now assume that a few TLV flags are always set since
we won't load firmware that didn't support the corresponding
features. This will be done in a separate patch.

If we have no beacon data before association, delay smart FIFO
enablement until after we have this data.
Not doing so can cause association failures in extremely silent
environments (usually only a shielded box/room) as beacon RX is
not sent to the host immediately, and then the association time
event ends without the host receiving any beacon even though it
was on the air - it's just stuck on the FIFO.

Send firmware a Smart FIFO Configuration host command to allow
interrupt coalescing. The smart FIFO is enabled when there is
only one bound interface (other than p2p devices which are
ignored) and it is of type station, and activated while the
station is associated.
Smart Fifo allows aggragations of DMA transactions and by that
causes processor and memory controller to stay for a longer time
on lower c-states, thus saving platform power.
Firmware relies on driver to activate and disable it.
