libertas: prioritize usb8388_olpc.bin firmware on OLPC machines
Normally, the v9 firmware will be loaded if it's available. However, on OLPC XO-1 machines, the olpc-specific firmware supports extra functionality. This makes the libertas driver attempt to load the custom firmware first if the machine is an OLPC machine; if that fails (or it's not an OLPC machine), fall back to attempting to load the other firmwares. usb8388_olpc.bin is currently found in the linux-firmware repository.
