Upgrade Redpine WLAN/BT driver to ver. 1.2.RC9

[Shrirang Bagul]

Upgrade the Redpine WLAN/BT RS9113 driver in Ubuntu Xenial kernel to ver. 1.2.RC9.

This is the latest version of the driver provided by Redpine. For now, this driver is enabled only on x86, x86_64 architectures. The impact is restricted to
{ SDIO_DEVICE(0x041B, 0x9330) } for SDIO based WiFi-BT modules and on USB bus, this driver binds only to RS9113, lets upstream kernel driver handle other RSI chipsets.

Fixes since previous release(see lp: #1669672)

This bug is awaiting verification that the kernel in -proposed solves the problem. Please test the kernel and update this bug with the results. If the problem is solved, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-done-xenial'. If the problem still exists, change the tag 'verification-needed-xenial' to 'verification-failed-xenial'.

If verification is not done by 5 working days from today, this fix will be dropped from the source code, and this bug will be closed.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you!
