The newer firmware may set firmware by default, but Some
firmwares in upstream do not, like 7.35.349.28 for 4354-sdio.

Before adding new API in ops and ATTR in nl80211, I think keeping the
frameburst module parameter is good for user to enhance TX throughput.
And I will find time to add new API after finishing my internal task.
