There's no specific changes needed in the linux-firmware repo to work with this
driver change. There is a bugfix version of the firmware that we're getting
ready to send up, which is the motivation for this change, but the change
will work properly with the firmware that's in the repo today.
All this change does is replace the hard-coded full firmware filename used in
the driver with the basename-apiversion construction as documented in
http://www.linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Documentation/firmware-versioning
plus add some info to the README to help users get the firmware properly
installed.
Users will need to create the symlinks as described in the README to use these
driver changes.
