Subject[v4] wlcore: add missing nvs file name info for wilink8
Date
The following commits:
c815fde wlcore: spi: Populate config firmware data
d776fc8 wlcore: sdio: Populate config firmware data

Populated the nvs entry for wilink6 and wilink7 only while it is
still needed for wilink8 as well.
This broke user space backward compatibility when upgrading from older
kernels, as the alternate mac address would not be read from the nvs that
is present in the file system (lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin)
causing mac address change of the wlan interface.

This patch fix this and update the structure field with the same default
nvs file name that has been used before.

In addition, some distros hold a default wl1271-nvs.bin in the file
system with a bogus mac address (deadbeef...) that for a wl18xx device
also overrides the mac address that is stored inside the device.
Warn users about this bogus mac address and use a random mac instead

v2->v3: add a check for default deadbeef... mac address and warn about it
v3->v4: use a random TI mac address instead of the bogus one
