Hmm, perhaps. Do you have a rpi 3 to test on? The linux-firmware commit
doesn't mention anything about it:

http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/commit/?id=c4c07a8d1128d50a5c2885ceea1abbebaa82f820

But the kernel does reference the .txt file as well:

drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/brcm80211/brcmfmac/sdio.c:BRCMF_FW_NVRAM_DEF(43430, "brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin", "brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt");
