Subject: [PATCH 17/34] brcmfmac: pcie: Provide a buffer of random bytes to the device

Newer Apple firmwares on chipsets without a hardware RNG require the
host to provide a buffer of 256 random bytes to the device on
initialization. This buffer is present immediately before NVRAM,
suffixed by a footer containing a magic number and the buffer length.

This won't affect chips/firmwares that do not use this feature, so do it
unconditionally.
