Some devices have an nvram setting, which make broadcom-wl turn of the
led all the time. When the driver is switched on and we find such a
setting we replace it with a better value.

Some series of devices are using the same mac address, which causes
conflicts for these devices we generate a new mac address based on the
base address. This patch adds this functionality to braodcom-wl.

Some devices initialize with a default address (common to all H/W).
The address needs to be changeable so that a unique address can be
assigned to each AP.

Default gmode to "GOnly" unless explicitly overwridden. This corrects
processing for 11ng to specify "GOnly" for gmode instead of "Auto"
(which translated to "bg").

'nas' must be shutdown independently for each 'wl' device to properly
support devices with multiple radios. Do the shutdown when the device
is disabled instead of when it is brought up.

Modify the band reporting for broadcom devices to correctly report
HW capability. Currently, 802.11na devices report "bgn"; but should be

'netifd' treats all devices with a "." in their name as vlan devices.
Modify the name of virtual/WDS interfaces created by broadcom-wl to use
a "-" instead of a ".", so they will be treated as simple devices
by 'netifd'.
