wifi: mwifiex: add rgpower table loading support

Browse source 
Marvell/NXP Wi-Fi adapters allow fine-grained adjustment of the transmit
power levels and various other internal parameters. This is done by
sending command streams to the adapter. One storage format of these
command streams are the rgpower tables, which consist of multiple
command blocks in the following format:

command_block_1 = {
XX XX LL LL XX XX ..
}
command_block_n = {
XX XX LL LL XX XX XX ..
}

XX = raw byte as hex chars
LL = total length of the "raw" command block

These command blocks are parsed into their binary representation and
then send to the adapter. The parsing logic was adapted from NXP's
mwifiex driver[1].

The rgpower tables matching the currently set regulatory domain are
automatically requested and applied. If not found the existing device
tree provided power tables are tried as well.
