Summary

With the removal of the "USE=kmod" and only building packages with
plain firmware files, our version went backwards. Updating the
firmware will fix this. For ath1[012]k we can just do that as we
do not yet ship the drivers officially.

Change to a script shipping with ath10k to extract the firmware files
from WHENCE to get them all. It is questionable if we really want
to have as many flavors or how to ship them in the end, especially
for ath11k and ath12k.

Pointing this comment out to remind you to remove it on commit. The same applies to the other ports.

I currently leave them; I know it's in git but in case something goes wrong it's easy to tell someone to swap the lines; we did have trouble with some firmware versions, I believe rtw88 and it's simply easier to see where we came from and where we are going to than going through git log/blame/show/...

But for ath1xk and mt76 I should indeed remove them as we never really used them. Will do before push.
