This is because 'brcmfmac43430-sdio.1DX.clm_blob' is renamed during
installation step into 'brcmfmac43430-sdio.clm_blob' (using
murata-cyw-fw-strip-model helper). The latter is the firmware name
expected by Linux kernel.

It would be nice to do it that way. However different modules based on
the same chip have conflicting names under /lib/firmware/brcm/
directory.

Thanks for hint!

Okay, will use proposed name.
