brcmfmac: use ISO3166 country code and 0 rev as fallback on some devices
This is a second attempt at honering the country code send out by access points. This was first added in commit b0b524f0 ("brcmfmac: use ISO3166 country code and 0 rev as fallback"). Subsequently this was reverted in commit 151a7c12 ("Revert "brcmfmac: use ISO3166 country code and 0 rev as fallback""), because it was causing issues with AP mode on some brcmfmac models (specifically on BCM4359/9). Many devices ship with a nvram ccode value of X2/XT/XU/XV/ALL which are all special world-wide compatibility ccode-s. Most of these world-wide ccode-s allow passive scan mode only for 2.4GHz channels 12-14, only enabling them when an AP is seen on them. But at least on brcmfmac43455 devices this is not working correctly, these do not see accesspoints on channels 12-14 unless the ccode is changes to a country where these channels are allowed. Translating received country codes to an ISO3166 country code and 0 rev ccreq fixes devices using a brcmfmac43455 with a X2/XT/XU/XV/ALL ccode not seeing accesspoints on channels 12-14. To avoid this causing issues on other brcmfmac models again, the fallback is limited to only brcmfmac4345* chips this time.
