/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin missing on riscv64

[Heinrich Schuchardt]

[Impact]

/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin is needed for wifi on the StarFive VisionFive board which uses the starfive kernel flavor.

The file was available in Jammy and only recently removed from Mantic.

File debian/config/linux-firmware/riscv64/exclude.fwinfo is excluding it cyfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob which file WHENCE links to brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin. So this file needs to change.

[Fix]

Include cypress/cyfmac firmware files in firmware packages.

[Test Case]

Check that wifi is functional.

[Where Problems Could Occur]

Potential wifi problems on platforms that are using the brcmfmac driver.

[Juerg Haefliger (juergh)]

In Mantic, we try to exclude firmware files that the kernel doesn't reference. Some bcm/brcmfmac files are symlinks to cypress/cyfmac files so we need to keep the cypress files on all relevant architectures.

Can you please adjust the status of Noble, too? Thanks

File lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin.zst is contained in the 24.04 package. Looks ok.
