From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@xxxxxxxxx>
We can't really know easily if a BIGTK will be used, but
in case firmware supports BIGTK it also supports the very
easy IGTK use (nothing to do on the host), and requires
that we program both IGTK and BIGTK to be able to use the
BIGTK. Thus, change the condition here to set the keys in
firmware (both IGTK/BIGTK) if BIGTK is supported.
