The functions for communicating were given the net_device only because
its private data contained struct brcmf_if object. However, not all
firmware related interfaces will be associated with a net_device. To
accomodate provisioning firmware for such interfaces the struct
brcmf_if object will be passed to the fwil functions.

The firmware interface has functions to send bsscfg specific commands
to the device. These functions currently have a bssidx parameter, but
that same information is stored in struct brcmf_if, which is in the
private data of the net_device parameter.

Refactor the functions that are related to getting and setting
data to and and from the firmware.
