Richard,

I would like to advocate that this is similar to the kernel, there are
new firmware packages available for new hardware and if we want to be
supporting leading edge hardware, we need to have the latest versions
of linux-firmware.

This is what I consider a leaf recipe, it does not directly affect
other and is therefore fairly safe to take the latest version.

Please consider this for 2.3, thanks!

Sau!
