Users complained that building images for various mvebu Linksys devices

Turns out the package builds fine in mvebu/cortex-a9 images build, but
isn't built at all for arm/cortex-a9 packages. This is because we are
using the SDK for bcm53xx/generic to build packages for arm/cortex-a9,
hence the dependency for @TARGET_mvebu fails.
Remove the target dependency as kmod-mwlwifi as well as firmware
packages actually build fine on all platforms (and people might even
want to use Marvell mPCIe Wifi on non-mvebu platforms).
As a result, the missing 'mwlwifi-firmware-'* packages should become
available for arm/cortex-a9 (and all other platforms).
Does this happen for the kmod or only for the firmware package? If this
only happens for the firmware package, does it help to add this to the
package Makefile:
PKG_FLAGS:=nonshared
I think we only have this problems with the packages build by the 2.
phase build bot which is shared between different targets with the same
CPU. When we make it nonshared it should be build together with the
target. We had a similar problems with the mtd package some time ago.
We should check if there are more places with similar problem.
