Dan Williams a2995d38c2 firmware/isci: update to oem parameter format v1.3
v1.1 allows finer grained tuning of the SSC (spread-spectrum-clocking)
settings for SAS and SATA.  See notes in probe_roms.h

v1.3 allows the attenuation of the attached cables to be specified to
the driver in terms of 'short', 'medium', and 'long' (see probe_roms.h).
These settings (per phy) are retrieved from the platform oem-parameters
(BIOS rom), the fallback firmware blob, or via a module parameter
override.

README

This defines the temporary binary blow we are to pass to the SCU
driver to emulate the binary firmware that we will eventually be
able to access via NVRAM on the SCU controller.

The current size of the binary blob is expected to be 149 bytes or larger
