What's the maintenance status on libertas_tf?

Now that we have async firmware loading that is more capable, I would
love to see libertas_tf converted to load firmware before registering
with mac80211, like ar9170 and iwlwifi, and register with the right MAC
address so we can get rid of the code that was added by

commit bdbe819540f3365249095692118dbfeee308140d
