Yeah, I guess. Though not actually sure, do we need to support new
kernel + old firmware install?

I'd say you should.  Here's a few examples of why:

Right, agree.

So yes; do the symlinks when you move directories.  It's one line in
WHENCE per file that you want a symlink.


That doesn't achieve it though. It means the driver needs to try for the
file in intel/ and then fall back without the intel/ if it's not found.

Or just look for new files in intel/ and old files without intel/, but
then you don't really need the file move/symlinks?

It's probably easiest to look in intel/ and then fallback to the toplevel path if -ENOENT and try again.

Like Kalle mentioned, wait a few years and then tear out the fallback code and the symlink creation.
