I have confirmed these files are not used, but distro can select and pick
firmware by module info. Not sure if cleanup is necessary.
By the way, I found some firmware aren't added to MODULE_FIRMWARE():
rtlwifi/rtl8723ae/sw.c: fw_name = "rtlwifi/rtl8723fw_B.bin";
rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/sw.c: wowlan_fw_name = "rtlwifi/rtl8812aefw_wowlan.bin";
rtlwifi/rtl8821ae/sw.c: wowlan_fw_name = "rtlwifi/rtl8821aefw_wowlan.bin";
...
I will prepare a patch for them.
