Hi!

Seems the commit 0f0aefd733f7 to linux-firmware effectively broke all
of the setups with the old kernels. Firmware name is an ABI (!) and
replacing it like this will definitely break systems with older
kernels. Linux firmware package likely, but unfortunately, should
carry on both versions as long as it's needed. Alternative solution is
to provide the links during installation.

Btw, I haven't seen the driver change for that. Care to provide a
commit ID in upstream?
