Summary

iwlwififw(4) got moved into a subdirectory in the linux-firmware.git
but the driver still expects the firmware at the toplevel.
The longer-term solution would be to create symlinks as the WHENCE
file indicates but for the moment use the less intrusive version
simply stripping the subdir during 'extract'.
