This is a good point but the firmware filename is now changing too
rapidly (every 6 weeks) to include all of them into linux-firmware.git.
So we chose the firmware version that are the most stable and that
correspond to a certain kernel. E.g. I won't upstream -16.ucode since
4.2 can handle 15 and 4.3 can already handle 17.
That's the compromise we found.
Note that all the firmware versions are available in our
linux-firmware.git clone.

Right now, I am waiting for -17.ucode to stabilize before upstreaming it.
