So in other words this is a bug in Unity Linux (which as per https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware is the upstream for the Ubuntu linux-firmware-free package) for including a non-free driver; and in Ubuntu's own linux-firmware-nonfree package for not including the driver. A reasonable first step towards resolving this would appear to be to approach the Unity upstream maintainers about removing the non- free package; then it should be trivial for linux-firmware-nonfree to pick it up.
However, I am not authorized to reopen the bug for linux-firmware-free. Could somebody please step in?
