Driver's main init/attach function brcmf_attach() was handling both:
wiphy allocation and driver initialization. It meant getting a new wiphy
on every init (initial, resume, error recovery).

For supplicants/authenticators and Linux users it's move convenient to
have the same wiphy over driver's lifetime. It allows e.g. automatic
recovery after a firmware crash.

Typo: 'move' should be 'more'.
