mwl8k: choose proper firmware image as directed by user
The mwl8k can operate in AP or STA mode, depending on the firmware image that is loaded. By default, STA firmware is loaded. Allow the user to override this default mode at module load time. This saves an unnecessary firmware reload for users only interested in AP mode. Also, the firmware image can be swapped to meet the user's add_interface request. For example, suppose the STA firmware is loaded, no STA interface has been added, and the user adds an AP interface. In this case, the AP firmware will be loaded to meet the request.
