Please use separate Version: fields for all the firmware rather than
havign misleading and incorrect specification.

While we are at it, do the old ap/p2p/normal firmware also have 16.0
version? If not, the Version clause is incorrect anyway (there should be
an empty line before the unified firmware entry).
Granted that support for non-unified firmware has been dropped in 2016,
maybe it's time to drop these files from linux-firmware too?

Just my 2c, but I don't think that this patch should be applied in its
current form.
