    wifi: brcmfmac: pcie: Provide a buffer of random bytes to the device
    
    [ Upstream commit 91918ce88d9fef408bb12c46a27c73d79b604c20 ]
    
    Newer Apple firmwares on chipsets without a hardware RNG require the
    host to provide a buffer of 256 random bytes to the device on
    initialization. This buffer is present immediately before NVRAM,
    suffixed by a footer containing a magic number and the buffer length.
    
    This won't affect chips/firmwares that do not use this feature, so do it
    unconditionally for all Apple platforms (those with an Apple OTP).
