When the brcmfmac device is physically removed cfg80211 gives a
warning upon unregistering the net device (see below).

When the device is physically connected the driver sends a disassoc
command to the device and response triggers the driver to inform cfg80211
about it. However, with the device removed the disassoc command fails.
This patch adds a call to cfg80211_disconnected() when that command fails.
The warning was added by commit below and also cleans up, but better
doing it in the driver if only to get rid of the warning.

Hi John,
One more fix for the wireless repository, which happens when unloading
the brcmfmac driver or unplug the device while being connected.
Regards,
Arend
