It selects 7265 non-D firmware since they share the same firmware for
old kernel versions (rev 10 D-variant is the same as rev 10 non-D).

This avoids a lot of unnecessary complication with lots of revison
knobs for different chipsets and it's consequence when bumping
linux-firmware as well.
Users can purge unwanted versions from a post processing script if
target space is too constrained.

Existing blobs are of version ath9k-htc 1.3.1, see
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=21a6c3e55df956dd223279627685778268ede70f
These are as said in the commit are left for compatibility with older
kernels which [older kernels] will look for blobs in the
root of "/lib/firmware".
But there're newer v1.4 blobs in ath9k_htc folder.
And newer kernels (>=4.4) look first in that new location
"/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc".
Note that even new kernels will fall back to previous location
if new one doesn't exist.
Tested with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (has Atheros AR9271 inside).

With SD, USB and PCI-E variants available for several chips,
bus-prefixed entries get mis-aligned badly.
Rearrange them to use bus-suffixes instead.
Config options and the files themselves remain bus-prefixed.

linux-firmware has gained a few firmware files for Broadcom WiFi
chipsets. Installing all of them takes a lot of place, when usually only
one is really needed.
Split the Broadcom BRCM drivers in two categories: bcm43xx and bcm43xxx,
when they were previously a single config option, so as to reclaim a bit
of space.

The firmwares to use for iwlwifi 3160/7260 are different, depending on which
version of the Linux kernel is being used:
- rev. 7 is for linux 3.10 through 3.12 (both included)
- rev. 8 is for linux 3.13 onward
Add a config choice to select the appropriate version.
(See cset a0a6eeb in the linux-firmware repository for the details.)
