At first, I was going to suggest that we should insteaddrop the separate
firmware-imx package, and keep just linux-firmware.

But as explained in the thread you pointed in the commit log (?),
firmware-imx also has firmwares for older CPUs, so I've added that as a
justification why we keep it and not the option from linux-firmware.

Applied to master, thanks.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
