In there linux-firmware repository located in kernel, there were removed old
broadcom firmware [1] as they seem to be likely vulnerable to KrØØk vulnerability
(CVE-2019-15126), because Cypress released new versions and superseded
by it.

In OpenWrt, there is Makefile for cypress-firmware, which already provides
the same named packages like it was in linux-firmware. For example, cypress-firmware-43455-sdio
provides brcmfmac-firmware-43455-sdio [2].
