The firmware interface also defines events generated by
firmware on the device. As the get/set primitives the
events are likely to diverge between the vendors so this
commit adds support for per-vendor handling. The number
of events may differ so we let the vendor-specific code
allocate the struct brcmf_fweh_info which contains array
of event handlers. The existing event enumeration will be
used by the higher layers and thus are common definitions.
The vendor-specific code can provide a mapping table for
converting the common definition to the vendor-specific
firmware event definition and vice-versa.

People are getting spooked by brcmfmac errors on their boot console.
There's no reason for these messages to be errors.

Using the WSEC command instead of sae_password seems to be the supported
mechanism on newer firmware, and also how the brcmdhd driver does it.
The existing firmware mechanism intended for (some) Cypress chips has
been separated from the new firmware mechanism using the multi-vendor
framework. Depending on the device it will select the appropriate
firmware mechanism.
This makes WPA3 work with iwd, or with wpa_supplicant pending a support
patchset [2].

Adding a .feat_attach() callback allowing per-vendor overrides
of the driver feature flags. In this patch the callback is only
provided by BCA vendor to disable SAE feature as it has not been
confirmed yet. BCA chips generally do not have the in-driver
supplicant (idsup) feature so they rely on NL80211_CMD_EXTERNAL_AUTH
to trigger user-space authentication.

The driver is being used by multiple vendors who develop the firmware
api independently. So far the firmware api as used by the driver has
not diverged (yet). This change adds framework for supporting multiple
firmware apis. The vendor-specific support code has to provide a number
of callback operations. Right now it is only attach and detach callbacks
so no real functionality as the api is still common. This code only
adds WCC variant anyway, which is selected for all devices right now.
The vendor-specific part will be built in a separate module when the
driver is configured to be built as a module through Kconfig, ie. when
CONFIG_BRCMFMAC=m.
