brcmfmac: reserve 2 credits for host tx control path

Browse source

It is observed that sometimes when sdiod is low in tx credits in low
rssi scenarios, the data path consumes all sdiod rx all credits and
there is no sdiod rx credit available for control path causing host
and card to go out of sync resulting in link loss between host and
card. So in order to prevent it some credits are reserved for control
path.

Note that TXCTL_CREDITS can't be larger than the firmware default
credit update threshold 2; otherwise there will be a deadlock for both
side waiting for each other.
