Bug Description
It may have happened with recent update for linux-firmware (27th Nov.), but I just found out when performing a full upgrade. There are a couple of files that are present in both packages, the firmware blobs for the WiFi/BT built-in card on older Pis.
The attached image shows the offending files, present in both, highlighted in red are those that are binary different (linux-firmware having the newer versions).
Package versions at the time of writing:
- linux-firmware: 20230323.
- linux-firmware-

That is intentional. linux-firmware- raspi diverts some files from linux-firmware. The Pi wifi needs different firmware than what is provided in linux-firmware.
