Title:
  brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob needs to be diverted

Status in linux-firmware-raspi2 package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  A recent update of linux-firmware 'fixed' dangling symlinks and now
  the raspi kernel tries to load brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob from
  the linux-firmware package but uses the FW blob
  brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin from the linux-firmware-raspi2 package.
  The two don't play well together:

  $ sudo dmesg | grep brcm
  [   17.643748] brcmfmac: F1 signature read @0x18000000=0x1541a9a6
  [   17.663790] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/1
  [   17.676701] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
  [   17.961711] brcmfmac: brcmf_fw_alloc_request: using brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio for chip BCM43430/1
  [   17.979586] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_c_process_clm_blob: clmload (4733 byte file) failed (-52)
  [   17.992680] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: download CLM blob file failed, -5
  [   18.002651] ieee80211 phy0: brcmf_bus_started: failed: -5

  [   18.059280] brcmfmac: brcmf_sdio_firmware_callback: brcmf_attach failed

  The FW blob from linux-firmware-raspi already contains CLM data and
  doesn't need to load a dedicated blob. In fact it must not, so linux-
  firmware-raspi2 needs to divert brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob from
  the linux-firmware package.
