Various X86 laptops with a SDIO attached brcmfmac wifi chip, store the
nvram contents in a special EFI variable. This commit adds support for
getting nvram directly from this EFI variable, without the user needing
to manually copy it.
This makes Wifi / Bluetooth work out of the box on these devices instead of
requiring manual setup.
This has been tested on the following models: Acer Iconia Tab8 w1-810,
Acer One 10, Asus T100CHI, Asus T100HA, Asus T100TA, Asus T200TA and a
Lenovo Mixx 2 8.

Changes in v3:
-Drop ccode fixup code (to be re-added in a separate commit), so that we
can get the main EFI nvram support merged while we figure out the ccode
handling
Changes in v2:
-Stop testing for asus in the dmi sys_vendor string at least the Toshiba
Encore uses the nvram efivar variable too
-Use a table mapping the firmare name to the correct ccode value (XV / X2) to
use for the worldwide regulatory domain for that firmware, assuming the
firmware from linux-firmware is used. This fixes the T200TA and T100HA not
seeing 5GHz networks
-Not only fixup ccode=ALL, but also ccode=XV, this is necessary since the
T100HA nvram efivar containts ccode=XV, but the firmware from Linux firmware
needs ccode=X2 for proper operation
