mac80211: brcmsmac: use firmware extracted from proprietary driver

Browse source 
The firmware from linux-firmware does not support the rev 17 core found
in a bcm4716. The firmware extracted from the proprietary driver
supports this core. Use this firmware instead by default.

help
Instead of using the official brcmsmac firmware a firmware
version 666.2 extracted from the proprietary Broadcom driver
is used. This is needed to get core rev 17 used in bcm4716
to work.
If unsure, say Y.
