[PATCH v2] wcn36xx: reduce verbosity of drivers messages

[PATCH v2] wcn36xx: reduce verbosity of drivers messages

[Ramon Fried]

Whenever the WLAN interface is started the FW
version and caps are printed.
The caps now will be displayed only in debug mode.
Firmware version will be displayed only once on first
startup of the interface.

v2: print the firwmare version as info but only
	onetime.

static variables are evil if you have more than one device on the same
host. Sure, I guess all current hardware only have one wcn36xx device
per hardware but still we should not endorse this bad practise. A much
better approach is to add a new field to struct wcn36xx.
