b43: Change schedule for old-fw support removal
The scheduled date for the removal of old fw support was in July 2008.
However, we're not going to remove the support unless it causes a major
headache. So change the schedule from "July 2008" to "when it causes headaches".

Why: The support code for the old firmware hurts code readability/maintainability and slightly hurts runtime performance. Bugfixes for the old firmware are not provided by Broadcom anymore. |
