Bump to the latest (as of this writing) linux-firmware git version.
This adds support for newer iwlwifi firmware versions and new chipset
support as well.

It selects 7265 non-D firmware since they share the same firmware for
old kernel versions (rev 10 D-variant is the same as rev 10 non-D).

This avoids a lot of unnecessary complication with lots of revison
knobs for different chipsets and it's consequence when bumping
linux-firmware as well.

Users can purge unwanted versions from a post processing script if
target space is too constrained.

This commit will allow the LINUX_FIRMWARE_FILES variable to contain
wildcards, which will simplify the handling of firmware that are
available in numerous revisions.

<title>linux-firmware: ath9k_htc - use newer firmware</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ed00c575a02137c0565b5370b8d1c3382bd0e31b</id>
<content type='text'>
Existing blobs are of version ath9k-htc 1.3.1, see
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=21a6c3e55df956dd223279627685778268ede70f

These are as said in the commit are left for compatibility with older
kernels which [older kernels] will look for blobs in the
root of "/lib/firmware".

But there're newer v1.4 blobs in ath9k_htc folder.
And newer kernels (&gt;=4.4) look first in that new location
"/lib/firmware/ath9k_htc".

Note that even new kernels will fall back to previous location
if new one doesn't exist.

Tested with TP-LINK TL-WN722N (has Atheros AR9271 inside).
