Subject: wl12xx: fix minimum required firmware version for wl127x multirole

From: Luciano Coelho <coelho@xxxxxx>

commit 60c28cf18f970e1c1bd40d615596eeab6efbd9d7 upstream.

There was a typo in commit 8675f9 (wlcore/wl12xx/wl18xx: verify
multi-role and single-role fw versions), which was causing the
multirole firmware for wl127x (WiLink6) to be rejected.  The actual
minimum version needed for wl127x multirole is 6.5.7.0.42.
