Subject: iwlwifi: pcie: fix SPLC structure parsing

From: Luca Coelho <luciano.coelho@intel.com>

commit e0d9727c111a5917a1184c71c1a8e6f78c7fc41d upstream.

The SPLC data parsing is too restrictive and was not trying find the
correct element for WiFi.  This causes problems with some BIOSes where
the SPLC method exists, but doesn't have a WiFi entry on the first
element of the list.  The domain type values are also incorrect
according to the specification.

Fix this by complying with the actual specification.

Additionally, replace all occurrences of SPLX to SPLC, since SPLX is
only a structure internal to the ACPI tables, and may not even exist.
