Mellanox: Add new mlxsw_spectrum firmware xx.2008.2018
Add latest verified version of Mellanox Spectrum-family switch firmware,
for Spectrum (13.2008.2018), Spectrum-2 (29.2008.2018) and Spectrum-3
(30.2008.2018).
This release fixes the following issues (among others):
- Prioritization of trapped control traffic on Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3.
- Several edge cases where the FW could get stuck on Spectrum-2 and
Spectrum-3.
- FW flash issues on Spectrum-3
- Apparent resource exhaustion on Spectrum-3 due to wrong fencing.
- When trapping dropped packets from several TCs, they would only get
reported under one TC.
- Incorrect rejection of RIF counters with indices over 16 bits.
- An issue where port split might fail after port saw heavy traffic.
- Certain large policer CIR caused effective zero CIR.
- A race that would cause drops due to lack of buffer space.
And includes the following new features:
- Support for shared port headroom
- A new trap for L2 IPv6 DHCP traffic
- On Spectrum-2 and Spectrum-3, support ACL actions that perform ALU
operations between packet fields, immediate values and general-purpose
registers
- Early support for 8-way port split on Spectrum-3

rtlwifi: v88.2 firmware files for RTL8192CU
The vendor driver rtl8188C_8192C_usb_linux_v4.0.1_6911.20130308 includes
new firmware files. These were extracted from data statements in that
driver to form these files.
Before this update, with version 80 of the firmware, the USB interface
of the RTL8192CU WLAN controller often locked itself up:
usb 1-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 1-2: device not accepting address 4, error -110
usb 1-2: device not accepting address 5, error -110
usb usb1-port2: unable to enumerate USB device
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
usb 2-2: device descriptor read/64, error -110
On ARMv5 based GARDENA smart gateways running Linux 4.19.78, this can
be reliably reproduced by rebooting (warm) the gateway multiple times
(max. 50 attempts needed).
Unlike users having this issues on a USB Wi-Fi dongle, resetting of the
chip by replugging is not an option on this gateway due to the lack of
any power cut functionality. Therefore, a (cold) reboot of the whole
gateway is needed.
Updating the firmware of the RTL8192CU WLAN controller from version
v80.0 to v88.2 (as per output of rtl8xxxu) resolves this issue.
The problem did no show up anymore for 1000 restarts.
Please note:
- Only rtl8192cufw_TMSC.bin tested (mainly on rtl8xxxu)
- rtl8192cu seems to work as well as before, but I can not rule out
that this new firmware version brings unwanted changes.
The Realtek drivers containing v88.2 of the firmware
(v4.0.1_6911.20130308 to v4.0.9_25039.20171107) have some changes
compared to the version v3.4.2_3727.20120404, for which I do not know
if those should be reflected in rtl8192cu.
Unrelated of the initially described USB problem, another issue still
remains after updating the firmware: Using the rtl8192cu driver,
scanning for available SSIDs yields no more results after a few hundred
scans (iw wlan0 scan). rtl8xxxu does not suffer from this problem.

cypress: add Cypress firmware and clm_blob files
Brcmfmac driver has firmware files coming from both Broadcom and
Cypress, the former Broadcom IoT BU. To better maintain files from
different sources, add a cypress folder and firmware/clm_blob files for
below chips:
The clm_blob files are on a generic world-wide safe version with
conservative power settings which is designed to comply with regulatory
but may not provide best performance on all boards. Users should use the
clm_blob files from their board vendors if available.

ath10k: add SDIO firmware for QCA9377 WiFi
This commit adds the SDIO firmware for ath10k/QCA9377 cards. I obtained
the file from the Boundary Devices repo [1] before discovering that Kale
Valo's repo [2] is the original source location. It has the same license
as the existing firmware-5.bin file. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged
for Linux 5.7 [3].
The upstream folder is named 'untested' though this is explained in the
QCA9377 support RFT post [3] and comments. I also show dmesg output in
the same comments. Support for QCA9377 WiFi was merged in Linux 5.7 [4].
Kale did say he would submit this in his next batch of things [5] but
that was ~5 months ago and I'm on a mission to drop out-of-tree patches
from the distro I maintain.

copy-firmware: Always write Link: entries
File: entries in the WHENCE file overwrite existing files in the target
directory, however, Link: entries are skipped if the file exists in the
target directory. This can cause issues if the Link: entry is updated, but
the target directory contains an old symlink. Do not skip writing Link:
entries if the file exists, always create the symlink. This matches the
behavior of File: entries and ensures symlinks will contain values from
