Yeah, that's just broken. If the driver/firmware ABI changes
incompatibly and the kernel gets updated so that it can no longer use
the older firmware, then driver maintainers *need* to put the new
firmware into the firmware tree so that it actually gets to users.

In this case it looks like they only updated the legacy firmware/
directory in the kernel source itself, that people don't really use any
more and that is going to be going away real soon now. That's not very
useful.

Michael? Did you submit the new firmware for linux-firmware.git and I
just missed it? If so, I apologise; please could you resend?
