The version of this firmware provided by linux-firmware is 7.45.41.26. This
version seems to have connectivity issues when bonding interfaces. Raspbian
included an updated version (7.45.41.46) which tested, proved to fix this
problem (see https://github.com/resin-os/meta-resin/issues/812).
The version Raspbian is providing is not yet in linux-firmware as they have it
directly from Cypress (see https://github.com/RPi-Distro/repo/issues/88).
Besides the issue described above, it fixes various other issues including a
broadpwn fix.
Hopefully this version, or a newer one, will end up in upstream soon. In order
to catch when that happens and stop overwriting this firmware, a check is added
in the racipe based on the md5sum of the current shipped firmware.
In terms of ditribution license, we got an informal one in the github thread
mentioned above.

Currently the firmware is installed but kernel fails to load it
due this .txt file missing in the firmware directory and it ends
up with wifi/bluetooth i/f not being initialized. The error is
also in dmesg
[ 3.120991] usbcore: registered new interface driver brcmfmac
[ 3.148240] brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt failed with error -2
After applying this patch now ifconfig -a can list wlan0 interface
successfully.

The NO_GENERIC_LICENSE map value for Firmware-broadcom_brcm80211 needs
to have the full path to LICENSE.broadcom_brcm80211 from the URL
instead of just the filename.
Fixes the following warning building the linux-firmware recipe:
WARNING: linux-firmware-1_0.0+gitAUTOINC+42ad5367dd-r0 do_populate_lic: linux-firmware: No generic license file exists for: Firmware-broadcom_brcm80211 in any provider

The license for brcm43430-license should be the license it contains
instead of all the licenses of the linux-firmware packages.
