[...] You should not rename files like this. linux-firmware is not versioned and needs to be compatible with old and new kernel versions, so far as possible. So the filenames in linux-firmware should match whatever the driver has used up to now. If the driver has been changed in 3.10-rc to use different filenames, it's not too late to revert this mistake in the driver. But if such a change was made earlier, we'll need to add symlinks.
