Nak.
I don't intend to update the symbolic links on linux-firmware.git
repository anymore so if we receive a new minor version update we are
not going to load.
I was the one advocating in the favor for the symbolic link flexibility
but I lost the discussions for the stability and validation etc.
So let's just move away from symbolic link for good.
