[Buildroot] [PATCH 1/1] package/armbian-firmware: add option to install AP6212 firmware

Hello Corentin,

Could you try to use ./brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.AP6212.txt from the
official linux-firmware project instead ? (This might require an update
to the Buildroot linux-firmware package, of course).

The reason I'm suggesting this is that linux-firmware has some BCM43430
firmware, and rpi-wifi-firmware also has some BCM43430, so if we can
avoid adding a third way of getting the same firmware, it would be nice.

Thanks a lot!

Thomas
