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.gitbcdcfbcf-0ubuntu1.9 (all)
 - linux-firmware-raspi: 10-0ubuntu1 (arm64)

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.

Changed in linux-firmware-raspi (Ubuntu):
status: New → Won't Fix
