This is using the LP specific firmware to better take advantage of the
Low-Power capabilities.
Gosh... I just realized that the code I introduced is completely
untested. My hardware does not reach these pieces of code...

Sorry...

However the code seems natural (due to the firmware file name pattern)
for a PHY-LP hardware, that is a bcm4313 chip (pciid 14e4:4315).

So if there is anybody with such hardware... you might want to try it... Sorry.

Well, your BCM4322 is not LP-PHY card... does it really work better
after that change, and wakes up faster? ;)

BCM4313 is LCN-PHY, so your change won't affect it, not to mention it
is not supported by b43.

14e4:4315 is really BCM4312 (LP-PHY) and maybe could be affected by
this patch... but just in case of core 16. AFAIK our 14e4:4315 are
usually devices with core rev 15.
