Subject: [PATCH v2] iwlwifi: pnvm: implement reading PNVM from UEFI

From: Luca Coelho <[email protected]>

We now support fetching the PNVM data from a UEFI variable. Add the
code to read this variable first and use it. If it's not available,
we fall back to reading the data from the filesystem, as before.

The comment doesn't really make sense anymore, can you send a followupb
patch to remove it? No need to change the tag because of this.

Ugh, sorry about that. I just saw that the version check had slipped
in and fixed it quickly at 2am, so I could still send you the pull-req
before going to sleep...

I'll send a patch removing this now.
