Firmware already supports this, so just enable the path
to configure the vdev parameter.

One potential issue:  The firmware (10.1 at least) defaults to 2,
and the mac80211 stack defaults to 4.  So applying this patch would
change the firmware behaviour regardless of user settings.

I verified this tweaked the proper firmware setting when I
ran this command:

iw phy wiphy0 set retry short 2 long 2

So, please don't apply this.  At least wave-1 10.1 firmware is going to
crash and/or corrupt its rate-ctrl memory, because it has some logic that
is just full of bugs when there can be more than 2 retries.

I plan to fix this in my firmware, but I doubt upstream FW is fixed
or will be fixed (a quick code inspection of 10.2 fw src makes me think
the problem exists there as well).

Thanks,
Ben
