Host platforms such as routers supported by OpenWRT can
support NVRAM reading directly from internal NVRAM store.
With this patch the nvram load routines will fall back to
this method when there is no nvram file and support is
available in the kernel.

As we plan to add support for platform NVRAM we should store direct
data pointer without the extra struct firmware layer. This will allow
us to support other sources with the only requirement being u8 buffer.

Recently Broadcom added support for NVRAMs with entries for multiple
PCIe devices. One of the supported formats is based on prefixes defined
like: devpath0=pcie/1/4/ and entries like 0:foo=bar 0:baz=qux etc.
Unfortunately there are also a bit older devices using different way of
defining prefixes, e.g. SmartRG SR400ac (2 x BCM43602) with entries:
devpath0=pci/1/1/
devpath1=pci/2/1
Broadcom stated this old format will never be used/supported by brcmfmac
but given the simplicity of this patch I'll insist on supporting it.

Platform NVRAMs often contain values with spaces. Even if right now most
firmware-supported entries are simple values, we shouldn't reject these
with spaces. It was semi-confirmed by Broadcom in the early patch adding
support for platform NVRAMs.

This fixes brcmfmac dealing with NVRAM coming from platform e.g. from a
flash MTD partition. In such cases entries are separated by \0 instead
of \n which caused ignoring whole content after the first "comment".
While platform NVRAM doesn't usually contain comments, we switch to
COMMENT state after e.g. finding an unexpected char in key name.

With a simple use of snprintf and small buffer we can compare NVRAM
entry value with a full string. This way we avoid checking random chars
at magic offsets.
Tested on BCM43602 with NVRAM hacked to use v1 format.

Comparing NVRAM entry with a full filtering string is simpler than
comparing it with a short prefix and then checking random chars at magic
offsets. The cost of snprintf relatively low, we execute it just once.

With PCIE it is possible to support multiple devices with the
same device type. They all load the same nvram file. In order to
support this the nvram can specify which part of the nvram is
for which pcie device. This patch adds support for these new
types of nvram files.

The nvram file can hold a key=value combination in which the value
may have spaces, ie. 'RAW1=80 02 fe ff'. The parsing functionality
did not deal with this so it gives an error message:
[621746.311635] brcmfmac: brcmf_nvram_handle_key
warning: ln=90:col=11: '=' expected, skip invalid key entry
because RAW1=80 is being considerd as key=value pair and it expects
'=' sign after '02' for next key=value pair. This entry can be
completely ignored as firmware does not need it.

The functions brcmu_pkt_buf_free_skb() and release_firmware() test whether
their argument is NULL and then return immediately. Thus the test around
the call is not needed.

The driver needs firmware to be loaded to the device, which
is done through the firmware class API. The synchronous call
request_firmware() need root filesystem to be mounted and/or
user-mode helper. These may not be avaliable on the moment
it is called. Instead use request_firmware_nowait().
