A package with the latest firmware is available from the following PPA:

https://launchpad.net/~waveform/+archive/ubuntu/firmware/+packages

This package includes diversions for the following files (which are also present in linux-firmware):

/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.bin
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt

I've tested installing (and removing) this package on an up-to-date focal install, on a Pi 3B+ and a 4B which appears to be fine but I'd be interested to hear of corner cases that break things (I'm not sure what would happen if someone had an old linux-firmware-raspi2 package installed - which would necessitate linux-firmware being removed - not sure that even leaves a bootable system, but these are all things which ought to be tested).
