linux-firmware: wl12xx: Updated STA & AP FW for wl12xx-fw-3
The new wl12xx fw (ver 7.3.0.0.77) had some major api changes.
The main change was the addition of multi-role concept.
For each chip there are two FW kind:
1) A single FW for both STA and AP roles
2) PLT FW that support calibration process
Update FW for WL128x chip to 7.3.0.0.77:
STA & AP FW version
PLT FW version
Update FW for WL127x chip 6.3.0.0.77:
STA & AP FW version
PLT FW version
Create a soft symbolic link wl12xx-nvs.bin that link to one of
the examples NVF files (by default wl127x)

libertas: add OLPC libertas blobs
These blobs are released by the OLPC project, and drive Marvell
libertas chips. OLPC hardware has additional features and quirks,
which makes special firmware necessary. The 'lbtf' blobs are
thin firmware, which allows the Linux drivers more control over
the device's functionality.
The firmware was downloaded from
http://dev.laptop.org/pub/firmware/libertas/.

rt2870sta: Use latest firmware for RT3070 and RT3071
Ralink's original drivers for RT2800U-family chips used multiple
different versions of the firmware for different chips. The rt2870sta
driver in staging was briefly converted to load different files for
different chips. However, the current rt2870.bin provides 2 images
that are supposed to cover all of them, so:
- Replace rt3070.bin with a symlink. The driver will use the first
image and ignore the second.
- Replace rt3071.bin with a copy of the second image in the current
rt2870.bin.

Add source and copyright notice for CIS files from pcmcia-cs
The CIS files mostly come from pcmcia-cs releases, in which the source
files were named etc/cis/*.cis and the binaries were named
etc/cis/*.dat. However, the current drivers request the *binaries* as
cis/*.cis. It's too late to fix that, so put the sources in a
