I would like to advocate that this is similar to the= kernel, there are
new firmware packages available for new hardware and if we want to be
supporting leading edge hardware, we need to have the latest versions
of linux-firmware.

This is what I consider a leaf recipe, it does not directly affect
other and is therefore fairly safe to take the latest version.

Please consider this for 2.3, thanks!

FWIW, I t= end to agree: new firmware just makes more hardware work and is very unlike= ly to break old hardware.
