[PATCH wireless-next] wifi: cfg80211: add fw_version device attribute for sysfs

[Rory Little]

The firmware version is already exposed via ethtool, but is not
accessible without an attached interface to create a netdev. Expose this
info in sysfs to allow users to query it without the use of ethtool.

+Description:	Read-only firmware version string provided by the driver for
+		this wireless device. The read data will match the information
+		provided by ethtool get_drvinfo. As drivers are not required to
+		provide this information, reading may yield no data.
