The dwell time for scanning is currently limited
so that it fits into the timings inside the ucode
when that is tracking DTIM/beacon periods for the
AP(s) it's connected to.
However, when it's connected to two APs, those
may be in lockstep, for example if they both have
a DTIM interval of 100 TU, then one could be 50
TU after the other, leaving only 50 TU free to
be used by scanning.
Since we can't know how far apart they are the
only option is to restrict to 1/2 of the minium
of the two APs.
In theory, it would be possible to not use 1/2 of
the minimum but take into account that if they
have different intervals then there will be a bit
more time since they can't be in lockstep, but as
they will have 100 TU intervals in practice that
complex calculation will probably just result in
hard-to-find bugs.

My previous commit to shorten the radio reset time
caused issues as the firmware checks the active
dwell time against the quiet time, asserting that
the dwell is >= quiet time. This isn't really
needed in case of passive scanning like here, but
of course we need to pass that check.
To fix this, override the quiet time to be the
same as the radio reset dwell time.

The effect of using a short single-channel scan
to reset the radio is that scanning a channel
that isn't in use needs to re-tune the radio.
This means that the dwell time is irrelevant,
so use a shorter time.
While at it, clean up the code for this a bit.

The EEPROM reading/parsing code is all mixed in
the driver today, and the EEPROM is parsed only
when we access data from it. This is problematic
because the NVM needs to be parsed and that is
independent of reading it. Also, the NVM format
for new devices will be different and probably
require a new parser.
Therefore refactor the reading and parsing and
create two independent components. Reading the
EEPROM requires direct hardware accesses and
therefore access to the transport, but parsing
is independent and can be done on an NVM blob.

Since we're working on another mode/driver
inside iwlwifi, move the current one into a
subdirectory to more cleanly separate the
code. While at it, rename all the files.
