The firmware feature check introduced for multi-scheduled scan turned out
to be failing for bcm4343{0,1,8} devices resulting in a firmware crash.
The reason for this crash has not yet been root cause so this patch avoids
the feature check for those device as a short-term fix.

So the first release for 9fe929aaace6 was v4.13-rc1 so no stable tag
needed.

(This is mostly to remind myself about this :)
