Subject: [PATCH RFC] brcmfmac: sanitize DMI strings v2

Sanitize DMI strings in brcmfmac driver to make resulting filenames
contain only safe characters. This version replaces all non-printable
characters incl. delete (0-31, 127-255), spaces and slashes with
underscores.

This change breaks backward compatibility, but adds control over strings
passed to firmware loader and compatibility with CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE
which doesn't support spaces in filenames.

Changes from v1: don't revert fresh commit by someone else
