The Arch repo linux-firmware is not a VCS package, because that uses specific 
release tags, i.e. fixed versions (because of the "#tag=" fragment at the end 
of the URL):

source=("git+https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git#tag=${_tag}?signed";)


But even if a repo package was indeed a VCS package, that would not be a valid 
reason for an AUR package not to use the needed suffix (-git, -svn etc.)

Because it is specifically the AUR submission guidelines that call for such 
package naming.
