2.33.1
Since the version string we get from the firmware is always 128
characters long, use a define for this size instead of having the number
128 copied all over the place.

2.33.1
The 88W8897 PCIe+USB card in the hardware revision 20 apparently has a
hardware issue where the card wakes up from deep sleep randomly and very
often, somewhat depending on the card activity, maybe the hardware has a
floating wakeup pin or something. This was found by comparing two MS
Surface Book 2 devices, where one devices wifi card experienced spurious
wakeups, while the other one didn't.
Those continuous wakeups prevent the card from entering host sleep when
the computer suspends. And because the host won't answer to events from
the card anymore while it's suspended, the firmwares internal power
saving state machine seems to get confused and the card can't sleep
anymore at all after that.
Since we can't work around that hardware bug in the firmware, let's
get the hardware revision string from the firmware and match it with
known bad revisions. Then disable auto deep sleep for those revisions,
which makes sure we no longer get those spurious wakeups.

We assume at a few places that priv->version_str is 0-terminated, but
right now we trust the firmware that this is the case with the version
string we get from it.
Let's rather ensure this ourselves and replace the last character with
'\0'.

Not sure why you ignored my tag...
As we discussed with Bjorn, it's fine to me to leave messages splitted
to two lines.

Whoops, sorry, that wasn't on purpose. I'm still not really used to the whole
email workflow of the kernel...
