[PATCH 1/2] b43: Fix connection problem with WPA3

[Larry Finger <Larry.Finger@lwfinger.net>]

Since the driver was first introduced into the kernel, it has only
handled the ciphers associated with WEP, WPA, and WPA2. It fails with
WPA3 even though mac80211 can handle those additional ciphers in software,
b43 did not report that it could handle them. By setting MFP_CAPABLE using
ieee80211_set_hw(), the problem is fixed.

With this change, b43 will handle the ciohers it knows in hardare,
and let mac80211 handle the others in software. It is not necessary to
use the module parameter NOHWCRYPT to turn hardware encryption off.
Although this change essentially eliminates that module parameter,
I am choosing to keep it for cases where the hardware is broken,
and software encryption is required for all ciphers.

This patch fixes a prooblem that has been in the driver since it was first
merged with commit e4d6b7951812 ("[B43]: add mac80211-based driver for
modern BCM43xx devices").
