This was slightly different for venus, where it was suggested to use 
.mdt for all the platforms. However last year when Chrome team was 
updating sc7280/sc7180 Venus firmware, Rob Clark and yours truly have 
persuaded them to (finally) switch to .mbn and provide compatibility 
.mdt symlinks.

Then we have similarly converted all the rest of the venus firmware files.

See:

Yes, it is a symlink for everybody:

$ grep Link.*qcom.v linux-firmware/WHENCE
Link: qcom/venus-1.8/venus.mdt -> venus.mbn
Link: qcom/venus-4.2/venus.mdt -> venus.mbn
Link: qcom/venus-5.2/venus.mdt -> venus.mbn
Link: qcom/venus-5.4/venus.mdt -> venus.mbn
Link: qcom/vpu-1.0/venus.mdt -> venus.mbn

So, long story short, I think this patch makes sense (and we should 
update other entries in this file too).

Patrick, maybe you can do it as well?
