Subject: [PATCH] libertas: prioritize usb8388_v5.bin firmware on OLPC
 machines

Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available.  However, on
OLPC XO-1 machines, the v5 firmware supports extra functionality.  This
makes the libertas driver attempt to load the v5 firmware first if the
machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC machine),
fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares.
