wimax/i2400m: decide properly if using signed vs non-signed firmware loading
The i2400m based devices can boot two main types of firmware images:
signed and non-signed. Signed images have signature data included that
must match that of a certificate stored in the device.
Currently the code is making the decission on what type of firmware
load (signed vs non-signed) is going to be loaded based on a hardcoded
decission in __i2400m_ack_verify(), based on the barker the device
sent upon boot.
This is not flexible enough as future hardware will emit more barkers;
thus the bit has to be set in a place where there is better knowledge
of what is going on. This will be done in follow-up commits -- however
this patch paves the way for it.
So the querying of the mode is packed into i2400m_boot_is_signed();
the main changes are just using i2400m_boot_is_signed() to determine
the method to follow and setting i2400m->sboot in
i2400m_is_boot_barker(). The modifications in i2400m_dnload_init() and
i2400m_dnload_finalize() are just reorganizing the order of the if
blocks and thus look larger than they really are.
