From: Kalle Valo <kalle.valo@xxxxxxxxx>
It's useful to provide firmware and hardware version to user space and have a
generic interface to retrieve them. Users can provide the version information
in bug reports etc.
Add fields for firmware and hardware version to struct wiphy and return
them to user space in NL80211_CMD_GET_WIPHY reply.
