linux-firmware: ti-connectivity: change fw version info to new style
Use the new standard of having a Version field below each firmware filename instead of having a separate list. Additionally improve the NVS file description. Signed-off-by: Luciano Coelho <coelho@ti.com>

+The NVS file includes two parts:
- radio calibration
- - ini setting parameters
+ - HW configuration parameters (aka. INI values)
-In order to have correct NVS file for your device NVS tool should be use:
-http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
+The published NVS files are for testing only. Every device needs to
+hava a unique NVS which is properly calibrated for best results. You
+can find more information about NVS generation for your device here:
-Example NVS files (not optimal) for wl127x and wl128x includes.
-To use example NVS set symbolic link wl12xx-nvs.bin to one of
-them (depending the chip on the platform)
+http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/wl12xx/calibrator
-In order to use that files copy ti-connectivity directory to target FS at
+If you're using a wl127x based device, use a symbolic link called
+wl1271-nvs.bin that links to the wl127x-nvs.bin file. If you are
+using wl128x, link to wl128x-nvs.bin instead.
+
+The driver expects to find the firmwares under a ti-connectivity
+subdirectory. So if your system looks for firmwares in /lib/firmware,
+the firmwares for wl12xx chips must be located in
/lib/firmware/ti-connectivity/.
