I just double-checked this and got confirmation that the latest BT
firmware in linux-firmware.git is compatible with the latest WiFi
firmware there as well.

But we are taking steps to make sure this will not happen next time
(i.e. for future hardware), by syncing our BT and WiFi firmware
releases.
