Missing hw2.1 symlink for WCN6855 in the kernel.org linux-firmware repo.

Missing hw2.1 symlink for WCN6855 in the kernel.org linux-firmware repo.

[Drew G]

This simple symlink was added over 2 years ago but still hasn't made it into the upstream linux-firmware.git in kernel.org? What is the process to make this happen as it means WiFi is broken for people who use regularly update from the kernel.org repo? How often are these upstream files updated with the latest blobs in this codelinaro repo? Thanks

In linux-firmware the links are created from WHENCE file:

Link: ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1/regdb.bin -> ../hw2.0/regdb.bin
Link: ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1/board-2.bin -> ../hw2.0/board-2.bin
Link: ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1/amss.bin -> ../hw2.0/amss.bin
Link: ath11k/WCN6855/hw2.1/m3.bin -> ../hw2.0/m3.bin

So when you do 'make install' it should create the symlinks.
