b43: fix DMA error related regression with proprietary firmware
In commit 66cffd6d ("b43: fix transmit failure when VT is switched"), a condition is noted where the network controller needs to be reset. Note that this situation happens when running the open-source firmware (http://netweb.ing.unibs.it/~openfwwf/), plus a number of other special conditions. for a different card model, it is reported that this change breaks operation running the proprietary firmware (https://marc.info/?l=linux-wireless&m=153504546924558&w=2). Rather than reverting the previous patch, the code is tweaked to avoid the reset unless the open-source firmware is being used.
