Title:
Stale firmware symlink
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in linux-firmware source package in Groovy:
Fix Released
Bug description:
[Impact]
On Groovy with linux-firmware 1.190.3:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 54 Jan 7 15:40
brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-a-plus.txt ->
brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
That link target is wrong and doesn't exist, it should be without the
'brcm/' prefix.
[Test Case]
$ ls -la /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455*
[Fix]
The upstream fix is:
commit a9993f8d3b241f70a691a5b81bf2cdb442c0e184
Author: Takashi Iwai <[email protected]>
Date: Tue Sep 8 12:16:56 2020 +0200
brcm: Fix a stale symlink for RPi3 model b+
The symlink for brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
was wrongly listed with the same subdirectory brcm, and this resulted
in a stale symlink. Fix it.

[Where Problems Could Occur]
Firmware is now loaded on Pi 3A+ at boot which didn't happen before so
theoretically that could crash the kernel if it's buggy.
