Comment (by dcbw):

 We can copy the us_file_format_easy_check() function from if_bootcmd.c
 over to wlan_fw.c and use that for ensuring that the firmware is at least
 minimally correct after loading it with request_firmware().  That's a
 really easy verification step and we should really do this.  Can you take
 that?
