performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
groovy to verification-done-groovy. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-groovy. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Title:
  Stale firmware symlink

Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in linux-firmware source package in Groovy:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  On Groovy with linux-firmware 1.190.3:

  lrwxrwxrwx  1 root root      54 Jan  7 15:40
  brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-a-plus.txt ->
  brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt

  That link target is wrong and doesn't exist, it should be without the
  'brcm/' prefix.

  [Test Case]

  $ ls -la /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455*

  [Fix]

  The upstream fix is:

  commit a9993f8d3b241f70a691a5b81bf2cdb442c0e184
  Author: Takashi Iwai <ti...@suse.de>
  Date:   Tue Sep 8 12:16:56 2020 +0200

      brcm: Fix a stale symlink for RPi3 model b+

      The symlink for brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt
      was wrongly listed with the same subdirectory brcm, and this resulted
      in a stale symlink.  Fix it.

  [Where Problems Could Occur]

  Firmware is now loaded on Pi 3A+ at boot which didn't happen before so
  theoretically that could crash the kernel if it's buggy.
