[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] package/rpi-wifi-firmware: provide board specific links to firmware configuration files for BCM43430 and BCM43455 based Raspberry Pi models

The Broadcom FMAC firmware loader in the current Linux kernel branch (5.x.y), when loading NVRAM files, tries to load a board specific file first. If that fails, the standard file name is used. The package rpi-wifi-firmware does not provide these board specific files; this results in unneccesary warning messages in the kernel log: 

(RPi3B+):

  brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,3-model-b-plus.txt failed with error -2

(RPi4B):

  brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.raspberrypi,4-model-b.txt failed with error -2

(RPi0W):

  brcmfmac mmc1:0001:1: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.raspberrypi,model-zero-w.txt failed with error -2

(RPi3B):

  This was found to be present in linux-firmware [1] and Ubuntu 20.04.2 [2]

[2] https://ubuntu.com/download/raspberry-pi

This patch provides links for BCM43430 and BCM43455 based Raspberry Pi models, to avoid the observed firmware load failure messages in the kernel log.
