[v6] wlcore: add missing nvs file name info for wilink8

[v6] wlcore: add missing nvs file name info for wilink8

[Eyal Reizer]

The following commits:
commit c815fdebef44 ("wlcore: spi: Populate config firmware data")
commit d776fc86b82f ("wlcore: sdio: Populate config firmware data")

Populated the nvs entry for wilink6 and wilink7 only while it is
still needed for wilink8 as well.
This broke user space backward compatibility when upgrading from older
kernels, as the alternate mac address would not be read from the nvs that
is present in the file system (lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/wl1271-nvs.bin)
causing mac address change of the wlan interface.

This patch fix this and update the structure field with the same default
nvs file name that has been used before.

In addition, some distros hold a default wl1271-nvs.bin in the file
system with a bogus mac address (deadbeef...) that overrides the mac
address that is stored inside the device.
Warn users about this bogus mac address and use the internal mac address

v2->v3: add a check for default deadbeef... mac address and warn about it
v3->v4: use a random TI mac address instead of the bogus one
v4->v5: add constant definition for TI oui address
v5->v6: after also verifying on wilink6/7 Use mac internal mac address
instead of a random one

This is not the correct way to submit patches for inclusion in the
stable kernel tree.  Please read:
    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/process/stable-kernel-rules.html
for how to do this properly.
