mac80211: brcmfmac: backport changes from 2016-09-27
This fixes memory leaks, some possible crashes and bug that could cause WARNING on every add_key/del_key call. It also replaces WARNING with a simple message. They may still occur e.g. on station going out of range and A-MPDU stall in the firmware. Signed-off-by: Rafał Miłecki <rafal@milecki.pl>

+Subject: [PATCH] brcmfmac: simplify mapping of auth type
+
+The 802.11 standard only has four valid auth type configurations of which
+our firmware only supports two, ie. Open System and Shared Key. Simplify
+the mapping falling back to automatic for other types specified by
+user-space.
