I used the same formating b43 uses, I do not know what's the official
formating for this firmware version number.

Writing the firmware version to wiphy->fw_version is the official way to
do this and many drivers already are exporting their firmware version in
this way.

I would prefer export the firmware version this way and also add it to
the hardware info in debugfs, where it already is.
