We do not use ucode9, but we started using ucode16_mimo for N-PHY support (high
cores).

John: is that OK to take this for .39?

Well, but we should.
There are only minor differences between r5 and r9 firmware.
r9 basically is a r5 firmware with workarounds added that are
needed for r9 devices.

So I think we should start using r9 instead of removing it here.

With a fallback to r5 if no r9 firmware can be found... just to keep
OpenFWWF working.

I meant to add support for loading ucode 9 later and the re-add info
about this. But OK, I'll make V2 which only adds 16_mimo. For normal
development cycle (wireless-testing) I'll add ucode9 loading support.

John: wait for V2 please.
