Hi Arend & all,

In linux-firmware, commit 0707b2f ("brcm: add/update firmware files for
brcmfmac driver") adds brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio.bin with version:

	Firmware: BCM4339/2 wl0: Feb 17 2016 18:29:33 version 6.37.32.RC23.34.42 (r608406)

This restores the version previously removed by commit 0f0aefd ("brcm:
remove old brcm firmwares that have newer cypress variants").

That was a follow-up to commit 04f71fe ("cypress: add Cypress firmware
and clm_blob files") which provides cypress/cyfmac4339-sdio.bin and
links it (via WHENCE) to brcm/brcmfmac4339-sdio.bin and has version:

	Firmware: BCM4339/2 wl0: Sep  5 2019 11:05:52 version 6.37.39.113 (r722271 CY)


It looks like the same also applies to a few other firmware, although I
don't have the hardware to check the relevant versions there.

Should part of 0707b2f ("brcm: add/update firmware files for brcmfmac
driver") be reverted in favour of the files in cypress/?  (It looks like
these will already be used due to the order of the file so the symlinks
to cypress/... will overwrite files installed from brcm/...)

Thanks, John

Guess I have to be extra careful these days with all companies submitting firmware patches. I will need to inspect the history per file and see what needs to be reverted and what not. Unfortunately the firmware updates were done in one commit. I look into it. Thanks again.

Regards,
Arend
