I appreciate that NXP now owns what was formerly known as Marvell
WiFi, but the driver still only recognizes "mrvl/" naming, not "nxp/".
Did you actually test that this does anything useful? Or are you
planning on submitting driver patches to use the new path? That seems
like unnecessary churn to me, and you should just use the old path.

Hello! For backward compatibility you really need to store this firmware
file under name "mrvl/pcieusb8997_combo_v4.bin". Moreover this firmware
filename already exists in linux-firmware tree, so you need to replace
old version by a new one. Otherwise kernel driver would use old version.
