The first three patches aim to reduce memory use of firmware, because
RTL8922D has many variants and each of them uses different firmware.
Therefore, firmware binary file becomes large, but actually only need
one copy to specific variant. Duplicate the necessary part and persistent
them, and free memory allocated by request_firmware() after device
probes done.

The other three patches are to define TX power values (for now) by an
external a board file corresponding to a specific board (with specific
VID/PID). This is necessary because TX power values depends on board
(module) design, not on chip only. Add this as a initial work to make it
possible to record settings for customized module (not standard PCIE
module).
