Hi,

Since I was just looking at some firmware related thing (files for the
hardware that might be shared between Intel BT and WiFi), I noticed that
just over 30% of the files/dirs in the top-level firmware tree are
iwlwifi-* files.

While we can't move the files that older drivers might consume, we could
e.g. change the driver to look up future versions/future hardware under
intel/ instead? Would that be worth doing?

How about moving them all now and then creating compat symlinks for older kernels at linux-firmware 'make install' time?
