[Bug 2150053] [NEW] Ensure brcmfmac firmware present in dracut initrd

[Dave Jones]

Public bug reported:

By default, the linux-firmware-raspi wifi firmware blobs are not
appearing in the dracut initrd. While this does not prevent the wifi
interface from *eventually* initializing (once the rootfs is mounted and
the blobs are loaded) it does prevent early usage of the wifi, which
affects cloud-init.

It is debatable if this configuration should be placed in linux-
firmware-raspi or ubuntu-raspi-settings but I'm opting for the latter on
the basis that this is not part of the upstream firmware package.
