This recipe update has broken linux-firmware for various devices I think.

It appears that since upstream's 20191022 release, linux-firmware is not
meant to be installed via simple copying anymore  (as this recipe still
does in do_install()), but instead you're meant to use their
copy-firmware.sh script.

In particular, all the symlinks that used to be part of the upstream git
are missing now, because copy-firmware extracts them on the fly from the
WHENCE file, they're not part of the git repository anymore. Without those
various kernel drivers will fail to load their firmware...


Cheers,
Andre'
