Ack, I forgot Gitiles is not super friendly for downloading binaries directly:

This should do it:

curl https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/third_party/marvell/+/HEAD/sd8797_uapsta.bin?format=TEXT
| base64 -d > sd8797_uapsta.bin

Or some similar invocation if you have to use the browser (click on
the "txt" link, then base64-decode the result).

Could be. It does look like mainline linux-firmware got an update for
this file in 2019, so it's possible your distro (or whatever provides
your rootfs) only semi-recently got the update.
