Re: [PATCH 3/4] libertas: check for old, unsupported hardware

I got this piece of code from the 5.0.16 GPL driver, but
implemented it differently. I mainly put it in to find out if
YOU have such an old silicon. When people yell "my card isn't
supported, I get this kernel error" we can still add the
necessary support.

I don't want to add the support right now because I don't have
this old hardware and don't know anyone with it. So no-one could
test this.

The 5.0.16 source mentions two things needed for this old
hardware:

* doing read-modify-write instead of just setting bits, this
applies to IF_CS_HOST_STATUS and IF_CS_HOST_INT_CAUSE
* and an interrupt workaround

The interrupt workaround isn't in the 5.0.16 source.
