Previous commits introduced a fallback mechanism for translating the
in-kernel ISO3166 country code to the in-firmware country code +
revision pair. The mechanism is dependent on the common chip core ID and
enabled only for a few specific chipsets.

But the in-firmware country code/revision is actually a function of the CLM
blob, not the chip core. Indeed, while it was reported that the fallback
mechanism causes regressions on a board with a chip identified by the
driver as BCM4359, we too have such a board with a BCM4359-identified
chip, and in our case we really do want to use this fallback mechanism.
Put another way, our CLM blob is using ISO3166 country codes, and the
revision is always 0.

Since this is evidently a property of the firmware, it would be nice to
be able to specify this in the device tree, since the driver has no
general mechanism for finding out based on the hardware type alone. This
series adds such a property: brcm,ccode-map-trivial.
