Ok. When there is no brcmfmac4364-pcie.bin in linux-firmware repo we can 
safely rename.

Indeed the alphanumeric code differs from chip to chip depending on how 
much respins are necessary and what type of respin. We start a 'a0' aka 
numeric rev 0. For minor fixes we increase the digit, but for major 
fixes or new functionality we move to the next letter whereas the 
numeric revision simply increases.
