There is already a discussion on linux-wireless regarding this.
Unfortunately all previous attempts to upgrade the firmware seems to
have failed.
Last week a new patch was send, so hopefully that will be applied.

I agree with 1, but unfortunately the policy of linux-firmware is that
the firmware cannot be removed when a driver exists which uses it
(regardless of the presence of that driver inside the latest
linux-kernel release).

I also agree with 2, but that apparently is quite hard. Multiple people
have send patches, I hope that the last attempt of last week will be
accepted and applied.
