Split the Shikra-specific ath10k WCN3990 hw1.0 WiFi firmware out
of the generic linux-firmware-ath10k-wcn3990 package into its own
linux-firmware-qcom-shikra-wifi package, matching the existing
per-board split already done for QCM2290/QRB4210.
The current linux-firmware snapshot consumed by OE-Core also lacks
the qcom/shikra/wlanmdsp.mbn symlink expected by tqftpserv, which
loads WiFi firmware from the same directory as other DSP firmware.
Backport upstream commit 837ae0e5becc ("qcom/shikra: link WiFi
firmware from the ath10k subdir") so the packaged firmware can be
loaded from the expected location.
This patch can be dropped once the linux-firmware version used by
OE-Core includes commit 837ae0e5becc.

+Subject: [PATCH] qcom/shikra: link WiFi firmware from the ath10k subdir
+
+On Qualcomm Shikra platform the WiFi firmware is loaded by the tqftpserv
+from the same location as the rest of the DSP firmware. Add symlink,
+pointing from the expected location to the actual WiFi firmware file.
+
+Fixes: f64d7db7d264 ("ath10k: WCN3990: hw1.0: add shikra firmware files")
