[OE-core] Linux firmware for iwlwifi 8000c disappeared in pyro

[Andrei Gherzan]

Hi guys,

I'm using pyro for a set of boards including the Intel NUC one. This has an
integrated WiFi chip which works with iwlwifi 8000c firmware. While
updating the pyro branch of poky lately I saw that the package where this
firmware is available now is changed which is not the case in rocko and
master.

In pyro (
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_git.bb?h=pyro)
the 8000c package was completely removed and the firmwares now fall back to
be included in iwlwifi-misc.

In master (
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/tree/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_git.bb?h=master)
that package still exists and everything is fine.

This happened because the removal of the 8000c-19 firmware patch in pyro
removes the package completely as well (
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_git.bb?h=pyro&id=3e4b382c0c687a76f824cd84b478c4f778e15e3e).
While the patch that ended up in master only removed that specific firmware
(
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/poky/commit/meta/recipes-kernel/linux-firmware/linux-firmware_git.bb?id=8d2e66817a6e5cea5a0146f2804e703402de44dc
).

Any idea why this happened? Can we bring back the package in pyro as well?
