On DT platforms, the module-instance and antenna-sku-info properties
are passed in the DT. On ACPI platforms, module-instance is passed via
the analogous Apple device property mechanism, while the antenna SKU
info is instead obtained via an ACPI method that grabs it from
non-volatile storage.

Add support for this, to allow proper firmware selection on Apple
platforms.

Do you need to obtain the antenna-sku when there is no module-instance?

In principle I don't think any machines would have antenna-sku and no
module-instance, though the firmware selection will still work without
it (it'll just end up using the DMI machine name instead).

Right. That was my assumption as well. I would bail out here and skip obtaining the antenna-sku.

+	status = acpi_evaluate_object(adev->handle, "RWCV", NULL, &buf);

Can you clarify what the above does? What does the "RWCV" mean?

No idea what it *means* :-)

What it is, though, is the ACPI method name to get the antenna-sku.

Wow. So much for meaning-full naming ;-)
