I suggested the new flag to Luis. I wonder if a case exists where the driver
has no firmware but does need MCU access. I already considered it strange
when Ralink released a chip without firmware while other revisions did need it.
If this combination would be extremely unlikely, then we can indeed remove
the flag.
