[PATCH RFC 1/4] brcmfmac: use separate firmware for 43430 revision 4

I am also a bit confused. The subject mentions revision 4, but your log 
shows 43430/2. Took some digging but found that numerical rev 2 matches 
'b0' and rev 3 matches 'b1'. The BT part is unknown territory for me so can 
not clarify things there.

Regards,
Arend
