Hi.
I notice that rt2800{pci,usb} each specify only one firmware image,
regardless of the controller version.
This is inconsistent with rt28{6,7}0sta and with the firmware images in
linux-firmware.
If you think that a single image per bus type can cover all controllers,
please identify those firmware images, test them on each hardware
generation, and get them into linux-firmware.

rt3070.bin rt3071.bin rt3090.bin should be deleted from linux-firmware.
They were only need by staging drivers.
True, but the rt2860 and rt2870 firmware file are outdated in the
linux-firmware,
and probably don't support the rt3090 or other more recent chipsets. So before
they can be removed, those files must be updated.
As I wrote earlier, my RT3090 is supported by rt2860.bin. I haven't tested
everything, but is functioned in STA and ad-hoc modes.
